Atoms form ions by gaining or losing electrons to achieve an octet of 8 valence electrons. Atoms with fewer than 4 valence electrons tend to lose electrons and become cations with a positive charge, while atoms with more than 4 valence electrons tend to gain electrons and become anions with a negative charge. The document provides examples of common elements writing out equations showing how many electrons are gained or lost to form cations or anions.

Atoms never have more than 8 valence electrons. Atoms with fewer than 4 valence electrons tend to lose these electrons to become cations (positive). Elements with greater than 4 valence electrons tend to gain more electrons for a total of eight becoming anions (negative). Below write out equations showing whether an element gains or loses electron. electrons are gained or lost. Indicate if the final ion is a cation or anion.
