Metals, Nonmetals, & Semiconductors80% of the elements are metals

IonAn element with an unbalanced electron

charge – either plus or minusPositive ions – lose electrons

MetalsNegative ions – gain electrons

Non-metalsRemember – the number of protons determines the

charge

IonsWhen the number of protons is

greater than the number electrons it is a positive (+) charged ion.

When the number of electrons is greater than the number of protons it is a negative (-) charged ion.
