The positive ion and negative ion before they are ions they were neutral atom. Then when the metals loses electrons it's protons (which is positively charged) will become more then electrons (which is negatively charge), so it become positive ion, but where it loses it's electrons? The answer is that it gives it's useless electrons to nonmetals were it is useful there and then the non metal changes into negative ion due to having electrons more than protons.
An ionic bond. The ions form a lattice of positive and negative ions which is overall charge neutral, the charges balance out.

Potassium chloride is an ionic compound, composed of positive potassium ions and negative chloride ions. When it dissolves in water, the ions separate and become surrounded by water molecules. Water is a covalent compound, but it is polar, which means that one end (the oxygen) is a little bit negative, and the other is a little bit positive. The slightly negative ends are attracted to the positive potassium ions and the slightly positive ends are attracted to the chloride ions. These are electrostatic attractions.
Phosphorus ions are negative.
chloride ions have a negative charge... hydrogen ions have a positive charge... positive and negative means attraction
Sodium will be positive. Check your periodic table; all those elements on the left will always be positive ions.
it is a negative ion because silver doesnt attracts positive ions which makes it more metallic it is a negative ion because silver doesnt attracts positive ions which makes it more metallic
salt
The charge is 0 if the positive and negative charges were equal
This compound is of course neutral.
just put true
false
No. The mutual attractions between many positive ions and many negative ions result in a compound with ionic bonds.
The resulting compound would be electrically neutral.
The resulting compound would be electrically neutral.
No, it is not true that a neutral ionic compound can only contain ions with identical charges. You can have, for example, a compound that consists of twice as many positive ions as negative ions, but the positive ions have only half the charge; +1 ions bonded to -2 ions. There are many different possible ratios with which different elements or radicals combine. As long as the total amount of charge adds up to zero, you still have a neutral ionic compound.
The positive ions and negative ions attract each other. This attractive force is an ionic bond. Each positive ion balances the charge of one negative ion so overall, the compound is electrically neutral. P.S. This is from my textbook. Good luck. :)
yes positive ions are faster then negative ions
Lead carbonate is an ionic compound, and despite its relative insolubility, it is essentially polar, because it consists of positive and negative ions.
