When two negative ions get close to each other , they ____________________ .

When a positive and a negative ion get close to each other , they ____________________ .

The positive ion will be formed from an atom that has a tendency to ____________________ electrons and will usually be a ____________________ .

A negative ion will be formed from an atom that has a tendency to ____________________ electrons and will usually be a ____________________ .

Metals and nonmetals can bond together by forming an ____________________ bond .

____________________ atoms have a strong attraction for electrons .

A chlorine atom can take ____________________ electron from a sodium atom .

When 2 ions are held together by the ____________________ between the opposite charges , this is called an ____________________ bond .

Chlorine is a gas made up of atoms found in ____________________ , and has the formula Cl2 .

Sodium exists as a ____________________ made of ____________________ atom ( s )

Each chlorine atom in the Cl2 molecule needs ____________________ sodium atom to react with .

Since there is one sodium ion for every chloride ion , the ions are in a ____________________ : ____________________ ratio . The formula is then written as ____________________ .

Since there are ____________________ calcium ions to ____________________ fluoride ions , this reduces to a 1 : 2 ratio and the formula for calcium fluoride is CaF 2
