The binding energy or binding force of an electron is not determined by the distance between
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi

7. Which of the following statements is true of ionization?
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
a. An atom that gains an electron will have a negative charge.
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
b. An atom that loses an electron will have a negative charge.

d. An atom that gains an electron has a negative charge, and an atom that loses an
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi g

ANS: D g i
This answer is not the best answer. An atom that gains an electron has a negative charge; how
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
ever, an atom that loses an electron has a positive charge. An atom that loses an electron will
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
have a positive charge. An atom that loses an electron has a positive charge; however, an atom
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi g
that gains an electron has a negative charge. An atom that gains an electron will have a negati
i gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
ve charge, and an atom that loses an electron will have a positive charge. An atom that gains
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
or loses an electron and becomes electrically unbalanced is known as an ion.

c. a neutron is removed from an atom.
gi gi gi gi gi gi
d. two atoms share a pair of electrons. gi gi gi gi gi gi
ANS: B g i
An ion pair results when an electron is removed from an atom rather than a proton. When an el
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
ectron is removed from an atom in the ionization process, an ion pair results. The atom becom
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
es the positive ion, and the ejected electron becomes the negative ion. An ion pair results whe
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
n an electron is removed from an atom rather than a neutron. A molecule occurs when two ato
gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi gi
ms share a pair of electrons.
