Term
|
Definition
| When an atom gains or loses an electron. When it loses one it becomes positive and when it gains one it becomes negative. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The amount of energy needed to completely remove the electron from the atom. Electrons in atoms with high atomic numbers have higher binding energies. Binding energy increases as you move closer to the nucleus. |
