Atoms to ions and back again

This KS4 worksheet is the perfect activity when teaching atomic structure, ions, bonding and electrolysis (as it refers to reduction and oxidation). 

Students fill in a table for elements from Groups 1,2 6 and 7. The table has sections for atomic and ionic structure. To complete the final columns students write 'ion to atom' equations and decide if oxidation or reduction has occurred.

There are follow up questions and suggestions for follow up class discussions about the patterns that can be seen in the table. Answers are included.
