Exam points
- Describe transfer of one electron from a Group I atom to a Group VII atom, producing a positive metal ion and a negative halide ion.
- Select the electronic structures before and after Group I and Group VII atoms form ions, showing the loss and gain of the outer electron.
- Construct dot-and-cross ions with the transferred electron distinguished and the correct charges, using the appropriate full outer shell for each ion.
