Summary this week in class we learned about:Isotopes, Cations, and Anions. Isotopes are atoms that have lost or gained electrons most of the atoms in the world are isotopes. If an atom loses and electron then it becomes a cation since cations hove lost electrons they have a positive charge. If an atom gains electrons then it is an anion since anions have lost electrons they have a negative charge. Since all isotopes have lost or gained electrons that would make then ions which are atoms that don't have a neutral charge.
SP2: Developing and using models
This week in class we had been working with models on making an isotope and showing how making an electron move into or leave the atom affected the atom. The information that we gathered was that atoms usually become unstable after losing or gaining an electron, we also could tell how many electrons were lost or gained in the atomic abbreviation this information proved to be useful in further work that we did in the class like worksheets.
