Anions

- Positively charged ions - Loss of electron(s)

- Equal sharing of electrons - electrons are equally distributed

- Two or more atoms linked by chemical bonds formed by their valence electrons.

- Two or more different elements joined together chemically

-Electrically charged atoms, molecules, particles. ~ + or - due to electron loss or gain Redox reactions

- Unequal sharing of electrons - Somewhat weaker bond than its counterpart.

- Result from a sharing of electrons - usually the strongest chemical bonds

- Weak chemical bonds - Always involves a hydrogen atom (+) attracted to an oxygen (-) or nitrogen (-)

- Negatively charged ions - Gain of electron(s)

- Weakest of intermolecular forces - Dependent on interatomic distance

linkage formed from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a chemical compound
