When a compound is formed from two or more atoms of different elements, the chemical bonds that form cause the atoms in the compound to have filled valence shells.

What does the electron dot notation for an ionic compound represent?

The electron dot notation for an ionic compound represents the transfer of electrons from one element to another to form ions. This notation shows the valence electrons of each element as dots, with the electrons being transferred to achieve a stable electron configuration in both ions.

How is the number of electrons for a neutral atom of a given element related to the atomic number of that element?

The atomic number tells you how many protons are in the element. The proton count is the same as the electron count as all elements have a charge of zero giving them the same. Simplified: the atomic number shows you how many electrons and protons are in the element. If it is a compound and it has a charge of +1 that means the element has lost one electron and has a positive charge. If it gained a electron it would be -1 as electrons are negatively charged.

If an element is missing one electron... is it a positive ion negative ion different element or different isotope?

If an element is missing one electron, which is defined as having a negative charge, then the element is a positively charged ion. If an element gains an extra electron, it will have a negative charge and be a negative ion. An element with an equal number of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons is considered to be a neutral element (in other words, no charge). By the way, no charge for this answer!


What 2 elements form to an ionic compound?

Two elements from different groups on the periodic table typically form an ionic compound. One element usually donates electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration (cation), while the other element accepts the donated electrons to also attain stability (anion). This transfer of electrons creates an electrostatic attraction between the two ions, forming the ionic bond in the compound.


How is pure element different from an element in compound?

A pure element (on an atomic scale) is a series of the same atoms (same amount of electrons). Elements in compounds are fused to each other meaning that their amount of electrons may have changed and they may have a different charge.
