A molecule is the simplest complete structural unit of an element or compound that can exist in nature.
An atom is the smallest component of any element having all the chemical properties of that specific element.
Ions are atoms or molecules that have become electrically charged (positive or negative) by having lost or gained one or more electrons.

What is the relationship between atoms in a ionic bond?
Ionic bonding is a type of chemical bonding that involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions. These ions represent atoms that have lost one or more electron (known as cations) and atoms that have gained one or more electrons (known as an anions). In the simplest case, the cation is a metal atom and the anion is a nonmetal atom.
What is the relationship between hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions in water?
the difference is that ,the hydrogen ion
How are atoms and ions connected?
Atoms are neutral particles. Ions are charged atoms.
are chemical bond energy relationship between outer electrons and neighboring atoms?
A chemical bond is an energy relationship between outer electrons and neighboring atoms.
Where are bonding electrons between two atoms?
molecular orbital.
What is the relationship between cations and their atoms?
Cations are ions with a positive charge. Anions have a negative charge.
Ions form when what is transferred between atoms?
Electrons

Do ionic bonds form between ionized atoms?
Yes, only if there are both ions with positive charges and ions with negative charges among the ionized atoms.
How are atoms and ions connected?
Atoms are neutral particles. Ions are charged atoms.
What is the relationship between surface area and rate of reaction?
The increase in surface area of reactants increases the contact between reacting molecules, atoms or ions so the rate of reaction becomes increased.
What forms bonding?
Chemical bonds are between atoms, ions or molecules.
What is the relationship between the number oh hydrogen in acid and the charge on the anion?
# of hydrogen ions in an acid is equal to the charge of the ion
Why do atoms form ions and or bond why are they not content as neutral atoms?
The cause is the interaction between valence electrons.
What is the difference between positively charged molecular ions and positively charged ions having group of atoms?
Molecular Ions essentially consist of the same type of atoms (most probably the atoms of the same element) and the radicals may not have the same characteristic.
Does NaCl have atoms or ions?
it has both atoms as well as ions.
