Ions combine by electrostatic attraction. Opposite charges attracting each other. The attraction of opposite charges and repelling of like charges is the basis of one of the fundamental forces described in physics. Others are gravity, magnetism (actually electricity and magnetism are combined into electromagnetism), the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force.

What type of ions form an ionic compound?
cations and anions
Does carbon and oxygen combine to form an ionic compound?
no, they combine using covalent bonds
What 2 element types form an ionic compound?
A metal (as positively charged cations) and a non-metal (as negatively charged anions) need to be held together to form an ionic compound.
What 2 elements form to an ionic compound?
A metal and a nonmetal will generally combine to form an ionic compound.
The hyperthetical ions z3 plus andq2- combine to form an ionic compound in what properties do these ions combine to produce a neutral compound?
B. Z2q3
What type of ions form an ionic compound?
cations and anions
Why an ionic compound dissolved in water cause the electrostatic attraction become stronger?
An ionic compound dissolved in water form cations and anions.
Does carbon and oxygen combine to form an ionic compound?
no, they combine using covalent bonds

A metal (as positively charged cations) and a non-metal (as negatively charged anions) need to be held together to form an ionic compound.
When a metal and a non metal element combine they form what type of compound ionic or molecular?
A metal and a non-metal bond to form an ionic compound.

The hyperthetical ions z3 plus andq2- combine to form an ionic compound in what properties do these ions combine to produce a neutral compound?
B. Z2q3
When calcium and chlorine combine to form an ionic compound?
it turns into rust and then magically disolves !
Is mgnesium nitrate a ionic or convalent compound?
The cation,Mg 2+and the polyatomic anions,2NO3 -form the ionic compoundMg(NO3)2===========magnesium nitrate
What would fluorine have to combine with to form an ionic compound?
If fluorine combines with an element such that their electronegativity difference is more than 1.7, then they will form an ionic compound. Example:- Hydrogen fluoride is an ionic compound. Hydrogen has electronegativity of 2.1 and fluorine has 4.0. So, the difference is 1.9. Therefore, it is an ionic compound.
What is the pairs of atoms of Li and S would you expect to combine chemically to form an ionic compound?
Because lithium form a cation and sulfur an anion the lithium sulfide (Li2S) form an ionic compound, a salt.
When 2 or more atoms combine chemically they form an?
Chemical compound, which may be molecular or ionic.
