metals are always cations, meaning that all metals are positive, and a bond can't be between two positive molecules. only a positive and a negative. metalloids on the other hand can be positive or negaive

∙ 15y agotwo negetive ions or positive ions repell each other
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoIt is because they are of the same charge, but a negative and positive ion will go together
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoNo. It is not possible. Two elements forming anions cannot form ionic bond. If they ever
form a compound, they will react by covalent bonding and react in their molecular state.

Do ions posses charges?
Yes, ions are charged molecules by definition. There are two types cations (with positive charges) and anions (with negative charges).
What is the charge of ions and positive ions?
There are two types of charges of ions that are the negative and the positive charges. Ionic bonding is between 2 types of elements;the metals and non-metals. Metals loose electrons while non-metals gain electrons. when they form ions they obtain charges. The metals always gain a positive charge as they loose electrons while the non-metals always gain a negative charge as they gain electrons.
What is the number of ions in the element magnesium?
positive ion - magnesium(cation) negative ion-chloride (anion)
What are the kinds of ions and their importance?
An ion is an atom or molecule in which the total number of electrons is not equal to the total number of protons, thus it has a negative or positive charge. There are two types of ions: 1. Cation: positively charged ions 2. Anion: negatively charged ions
What happens when two negative objects are brought together?
They repel each other.
What happens when an ionic compound such as table salt dissolves in water?
It splits into two ions: posive Na+ and negative Cl-
How can molten NaCl be electrolyzed to form pure Na and pure Cl?
At the positive anode, attrackting negative ions: Two electrons are picked up there from two chlorine ions: 2 Cl- --> Cl2(gas) + 2e-At the negative anode, attrackting positive ions: Two electrons are donated to two sodium ions: 2e- + 2Na+ --> 2 Na(solid)
When two waves interfere the displacement where two troughs meet is positive negative zero or a crest?
Negative
What formula for a compound has a ratio between positive and negative ions that is one to two?
but I also need the sum of the atomic numbers for the two elements involved in the polyatomic ion to be 13.
How does an acid neutralise a base?
Acids release hydrogen ions (H+) in solution, and bases release hydroxide ions (OH-); when these two ions meet, they form water. That is what neutralization is.
Which atoms will form an ionic bond?
A positive ion and a negative ion. two oppositely charged ions
Do ions posses charges?
Yes, ions are charged molecules by definition. There are two types cations (with positive charges) and anions (with negative charges).
Why do you need two sodium ions for every sulfide ion in sodium sulfide?
Because sodium ions have only one positive electric charge units, but sulfur ions have two negative electric charges each.

What is the number of ions in the element magnesium?
positive ion - magnesium(cation) negative ion-chloride (anion)
The formula for magnesium nitride is?
The formula for magnesium nitride is Mg3N2. Magnesium forms divalent cations and nitride ions have three negative charges; therefore two nitride ions and three magnesium ions are required for the smallest group of these two types of ions that results in a neutral compound.
