 Learners will answer activity for them to find out the how neutral atoms
transformed into ions. (see attached hand-out) Let the Learners answer
the following questions:
D. Discussing new
concepts and 1. In what way the atom becomes a positive or cation?
practicing new skills #1 2. In what way the atom becomes a negative or anion?
3. What sub-atomic particle is responsible for the formation of ions?
4. How do you determine the charged of an ion?

 Suggested and optional activity. The video clip may be be used to deepen
E. Discussing new Learners’ understanding on the formation of ions (Refer to the link in the
concepts and reference area)
practicing new skills #2

 Board work: The teacher will ask a learner to complete the table and use
the questions below to process concepts.

1. If Fluorine gains an electron to another atom, why is it written F - 1

2. If Aluminum loses 3 electrons, why is it written Al+3 ?
3. If the atom gains an electron, what will be its charge? Why is this so?
4. If the atom loses an electron, what will be its charge? Why is this so?
