Ionic Bond
Negative will be attracted to positive.
a positive ion is attracted to a negative ion.
A positive ion is attracted to a negative ion.
If a positive ion is attracted to a negative ion, they will come together and form an ionic bond. This bond is formed by the electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions. This bond is typically strong and stable.
An ion's charge will be either positive or negative, but not both. The charges are mutually exclusive. A positive ion is called a cation, and a negative ion is called an anion.
Surrounds the ions with the hydrogen, positive end, attracted to the negative ion ( Cl -, for instance ) and the oxygen, negative end, attracted to the positive ion ( Na +, for instance ).
Positively charged ions are called cations and negatively charged ions are called anions. This is potentially the opposite way around to what you might expect but was named after the electrode an ion was attracted to. An anion is attracted to a positive electrode (the anode) and vice versa.
An ion is either a positive charged or a negative charged atom. Negative ions have one or more extra electrons, and positive ones have one or more electrons not there.
A negative ion is called an anion, while a positive ion is called a cation.
An atom is called an ion if there is a charge on it - positive or negative.
