Ions essays

Ions essays In science we prove many things in the world, we prove how certain things are held together. The perodic table is a fantastic way to figure out how thigs are made and what they are made of. Each element has a certain number of electrons, protons, and nuetrons, which make up the element and lets it produce new things. Each element has its on diagram sayign how many eletrons there are in the shells. The eletrons never leave the middle and same with the neutrons. There arew differnt number of shells on a diagram. The first shell hold 2 eletrons and the third and forth each holds eight. You can get more outer shell's but that become more complicated. For the electron to be "Happy" or stable is need 8 on the outer shell or 2 on the first shell. When you have two eletrons and they are not "Happy" they want to beable to gain or lose eletrons to become stable. If you had a eletron that has 2 eletrons on the 3rd shell and another element with six eletros on it oute shell they they both can be stable by sharing. The element with two eletrons will find it easier to lose 2 eletrosn besides to gain 6. So the eletron will let go of two eletrons, and the element with 6 eletrons on he outer shell with gain those 2. They are both are now "Happy" elements. When the element losses or gains eletrons then the formulas also changes. When you lose eletrons you have to make the element a positive ion because the number of protons are greater then the number of eletrons. When you gain eletrons then it is a negative ion because the number of protons are less then the number of eletrons. There are many more things about ions but that is a basic grade 9 lesson. ...
