Question

directions: complete each of the following sentences by filling in the appropriate word or phrase from the list below. (5 points)1.) anions have a charge.2.) a covalent bond is formed by a pair of electrons.3.) an atom becomes an ion by losing or gaining.4.) the atoms that make up ions are bonded together by covalent bonds.5.) the method can be used to write the formula for an ionic compound.protons neutrons positive electrons crisscross sharednegative polyatomic transferred

Explanation:

1. Anions are negatively charged ions, formed by gaining electrons.
2. Covalent bonds involve shared electron pairs between atoms.
3. Ions form when atoms gain or lose electrons, altering charge.
4. Polyatomic ions are groups of covalently bonded atoms with a net charge.
5. The crisscross method balances charges to write ionic compound formulas.

Answer:

1.) Anions have a negative charge.
2.) A covalent bond is formed by a shared pair of electrons.
3.) An atom becomes an ion by losing or gaining electrons.
4.) The atoms that make up polyatomic ions are bonded together by covalent bonds.
5.) The crisscross method can be used to write the formula for an ionic compound.
