Question
when ionic compounds form, the ions come together in a way that balances out the charges on the ions. true or false?
Answers
false- - ions are when one element gives up and electron and another element takes it so they can fill up their outer shells.
Marcie has given the correct answer for forming ionic compounds; however, the answer is incorrect for the question asked. The ions DO come together to balance out the charges. For example, 1 Na ion (with a +1 charge) adds to 1 chloride ion (with a -1 charge) to form NaCl (with no charge). Another example is MgF2. Mg ion (with a +2 charge) adds to two fluoride ions (with a -1 charge for each F ion= -2 total) to form one molecule of MgF2 (with no charge).
