    Positively charged ions, called ____________, result from loss of electrons.

    • Cations

    • Anions

    Correct Answer
    A. Cations
    Explanation
    Positively charged ions, called cations, result from the loss of electrons. When an atom loses one or more electrons, it becomes positively charged because there are more protons than electrons. This creates an imbalance of positive and negative charges, leading to the formation of cations. An example is when a sodium atom loses one electron, it forms a sodium cation with a positive charge.

    • Lithium Nitride and Li3N

    • Trilithium Nitride and LiN

    Correct Answer
    A. Lithium Nitride and Li3N
    Explanation
    All ionic compounds have the metal first, and the nonmetal second. The nonmetal always ends in -IDE.
    So Lithium and nitrogen would create Lithium Nitride.

    Nitrogen needs 3 electrons, and one atom of Lithium can only give 1 electron.
    So, there needs to be three atoms of Lithium to give 3 electrons to one atom of Nitrogen.
    So, you put "3" in front of Lithium to say that there has to be 3 Lithium electrons. You don't put anything in front of Nitrogen because there is only 1 atom needed.
    So, the formula will be Li3N.

    A. Nickel (II) Chloride and NiCl2
    Explanation
    Nickel is one of the elements that doesn't have only charge, but many different possible charges.
    The roman numeral II means 2. If we write Nickel (II), it means Nickel with a charge of +2.
    If we don't write the II, no one will know what charge Nickel actually is.
    So, we write Nickel (II) Chloride.

    Nickel gives off two electrons and Chlorine is only able to recieve one.
    So, introduce another atom of Chlorine.
    One atom of Nickel can give off two electrons and both atoms of Chlorine will recieve one each.
    Since there is one atom of Nickel and two of Chlorine, we write NiCl2.
