Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons in their outer orbit/shell. Electrons are negatively charged so if they lose an electron they become positively (plus) charged.
oppositely charged ions :) Xx
An ionic compound is formed when ions combine. These compounds are made up of positively charged ions (cations) and negatively charged ions (anions), which are held together by strong electrostatic forces.

Ions are formed when atoms gain or lose electrons. Positively charged cations are formed when atoms lose electrons. Negatively charged anions are formed when atoms gain electrons. Ionic bond is the force of attraction between cations and anions.
An ionic bond is formed by the attraction between positively charged ions (cations) and negatively charged ions (anions). This attraction is due to the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of a stable compound.
Negative charge: electrons Positive charge: protons
Yes, Mn2+ is a cation. It has a charge of +2 because it has lost two electrons. Cations are positively charged ions formed by losing electrons.
sharing wat else
Atoms gain electrons to form negatively charged anions. Atoms lose electrons to form positively charged cations.
actually +vely charged ions are formed due to the addition of more no.of electrons than protons in an atom
An ionic bond is formed when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of positively charged ions (cations) and negatively charged ions (anions). These oppositely charged ions are then attracted to each other and form a strong bond due to electrostatic forces.
When NaOH (sodium hydroxide) is placed in water, it forms sodium ions (Na+) and hydroxide ions (OH-). Sodium ions are positively charged and hydroxide ions are negatively charged.
