GCSE Chemistry Revision "Ionic Bonding 1: Ionic Bonding between Group 1 and Group 7"
Freesciencelessons・5 minutes read
Metals on the left side of the periodic table lose electrons to form positive ions, while non-metals on the right side gain electrons to form negative ions to create stable electronic structures in ionic bonding. This process allows both ions to achieve a full outer energy level similar to noble gases.
Insights
- Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons between metals and non-metals to achieve a stable electronic structure akin to noble gases.
- Group one metals lose electrons to become positive ions, while group seven non-metals gain electrons to become negative ions, ensuring both achieve a full outer energy level in the resulting ionic bond.

Ionic Bonding: Achieving Stable Electronic Structures
- Electrons are transferred during ionic bonding to achieve a full outer energy level, creating a stable electronic structure similar to noble gases.
- Metals, found on the left side of the periodic table, react with non-metals, located on the right side, to form ionic bonds.
- In ionic bonding, group one metals lose electrons to form positive ions, while group seven non-metals gain electrons to form negative ions, resulting in both ions having a full outer energy level.
