Fill-in-the-Blank 1. Metals will lose electrons to become stable.2. Considering your answer for #1, metals will form a positive ion.3. What is the name of a positive ion? Cation4. What is the name of a negative ion? Anion5. What is the term use for a completed outer shell of eight electrons? Noble Gas Configuration6. What is the only charge common to group 1A elements? +17. What is the only charge common to group 2A elements? +28. Why do elements in group 8A have a charge of zero? They are stable9. What is the charge on an atom that has gained one electron? -110. What is the charge of an atom that has lost three electrons? +3 Using electron configurations to determine ionic charges: (1-21) You will need the sub sheet to complete the electron configurations. Be sure to use the Cation and Anion charges for the ion.Enter all words UPPERCASE, except the element symbol... enter as it is on the periodic table. 1s²2s²2p⁴ GAIN 2 NEON O²⁻ 1s²2s²2p⁶ OXIDE 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p¹ LOSE 3 NEON Al³⁺ 1s²2s²2p⁶ ALUMINUM 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s²3d¹⁰4p² LOSE 4 ARGON Ge⁴⁺ 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶ GERMANIUM Electron Configurations and Ionic Charges Pick from the word bank the answer that best fits the box.
