Most of the elements in the top right of the period table (but not "group 8" - the furthest column to the right) will readily form anions (negatively charged ions) that can then form ionic bonds. Examples are O, N, P and S

Cations are formed by the loss of electrons, anions are formed by the gain of electrons. The force of attraction between cations and anions results in ionic bond.
ionic bond
This is typical behavior of soluble salts: metal cations (+) and nonmetal anions (-)
Non metals generally form anions. They gain electrons during ionic bonding.

Water is a compound or a molecule made by covalent bondings.

Metals form cations, but before ionic bonding. An ionic bond forms from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged cations and anions. So the ions form first, then the ionic bond.
