Hello

My exams are coming

I'm a straight A student .. the problem however is :

My textbooks , teacher and every piece of work that he gives us is complicated

can someone explain me how Ionic Bonding works and when we're taking about this table here can someone explain it to me

and please please please don't put any websites for help I need someone who can explain it with own words here

And I'm a Year 9 student so becareful on how to address the answer to

NOT A COMPLICATED REPLY

Thankyou everyone

Sorry it was suppose to be Chemsitry

There is no way I or likely anyone else is going to write a whole essay so you can grasp ionic bonding. There are dozens of high quality sites that will do it.
Please research it with something like the following:

I understand that you're looking for an explanation of how ionic bonding works and an explanation of the periodic table. I apologize for the confusion caused by my previous response. I'll do my best to provide you with a clear explanation here.

Ionic bonding occurs between two atoms when one atom loses electrons and becomes a positively charged ion (cation) while the other atom gains those electrons and becomes a negatively charged ion (anion). The oppositely charged ions are then attracted to each other, creating a bond. This type of bonding usually occurs between metals and non-metals.

To understand this concept, let's take an example of sodium chloride (NaCl), commonly known as table salt. Sodium is a metal, and chlorine is a non-metal. Sodium has one electron in its outermost shell, while chlorine has seven electrons in its outermost shell. Sodium readily loses its one electron, becoming a positively charged ion (Na+), and chlorine accepts this electron, becoming a negatively charged ion (Cl-). The opposite charges attract, and as a result, an ionic bond is formed between sodium and chlorine, forming the compound sodium chloride (NaCl).

Now, for the periodic table, it is a chart that organizes all the known elements based on their atomic number, electron configuration, and other properties. The periodic table is divided into periods and groups. The periods are the horizontal rows, and the groups are the vertical columns.

Each element is represented by a symbol, such as H for hydrogen, O for oxygen, or Na for sodium. The atomic number of an element represents the number of protons in its nucleus, and it determines an element's position on the periodic table. For example, hydrogen has an atomic number of 1, so it is the first element on the periodic table.

Elements in the same group have similar properties because they have the same number of valence electrons, which are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom. For example, group 1 elements in the periodic table, known as alkali metals, all have one valence electron. Group 17 elements, known as halogens, have seven valence electrons.

Understanding the periodic table is crucial in studying chemistry because it provides valuable information about an element's properties, such as its atomic mass, atomic number, electron configuration, and reactivity.

I hope this explanation helps you understand the concepts of ionic bonding and the periodic table. If you have any further questions or need clarification, please feel free to ask.
