Scenario Three Read the following extract: "Atmospheric ions are electrically charged particles which occur naturally in the atmosphere. They form in the upper atmospheric layers mainly because of the action of ultraviolet radiation from the sun, as well as in lower atmospheric layers as a result of radioactive radiation and cosmic rays. These cause ionisation of neutral molecules or atoms. As a result, ions are formed. These ions almost instantaneously combine to form molecules with ionic bonds." The extract mentions 'ions'. Explain what these are in tems of their electronic structure, and how this is different from an atom. The extract mentions 'lonic bonds'. Explain what these are, and how they form in terms of electron structure.
