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.

Does the attraction between a positive ion and a negative ion results in a covalent bond?

No. The mutual attractions between many positive ions and many negative ions result in a compound with ionic bonds.

Is it true that in ionic compounds the oxidation number is the same as the charge on the ion . a neutral ionic compound can only contain ions with identical charges?

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.


Do ions form electrically positive compounds?

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. :)


Do positive ions form faster than negative ions?

yes positive ions are faster then negative ions


Is lead carbonate soluble?

Lead carbonate is an ionic compound, and despite its relative insolubility, it is essentially polar, because it consists of positive and negative ions.
