52
Q

The loss or gain of electrons alters the proton to electron balance and leaves the atom with a net _______.

A

charge

53
Q

TRUE or FALSE:

Cations are formed when an atom or group of atoms accepts one or more electrons.

A

False

54
Q

TRUE or FALSE:

When an atom accepts electrons, it will become an ion with more protons than is has electrons.

A

False

55
Q

Ionic compounds are formed by _____ and ______ ions.

A

positive and negative

56
Q

TRUE or FALSE:

Ionic compounds are defined at 3-D structures called molecules.

A

false

57

A

true

58
Q

TRUE or FALSE:

An ionic solid is also considered a molecular compound.

A

false
