Ionic bonds are formed when atoms become ions by gaining or losing electrons. Chlorine is in a group of elements having seven electrons in their outer shells (see Figure 6). Members of this group tend to gain one electron, acquiring a charge of -1.
Between the community campuses and the main Anchorage campus, over 20,000 undergraduate, graduate, and professional students are currently enrolled at UAA. This makes it the largest institution of higher learning in the University of Alaska System, as well as the state.
Approximately 12,500 of these students were admitted initially, for a 50 percent admit rate. Currently, 5,480 freshmen have committed to UWâMadison for the fall. With a class target of 5,700 students, the university will enroll 200-300 additional students, many of whom will come from the extended waiting list. Last year, we enrolled a freshman class that was slightly above target, explains Seltzer.
