Negatively charged.
Metal and nonmetals form ionic bonds. The metal atom will give one or more electrons to the nonmetal atom. This is so that they can both have full electron shells. But by donating and accepting electrons, the metal becomes a positive ion as it has more protons than electrons, and the nonmetal becomes a negative ion as it has more electrons than protons. For instance, sodium chloride (salt). The sodium (metal) gives an electron to chlorine (nonmetal). By getting rid of one electron, the metal atom gains a full outer electron shell, and by accepting three electrons ( from 3 sodium atoms), the nonmetal atom also gains a full outer electron shell. But they both become ions. Hope this helps ( I'm only 14)

One atom is a metal and one is a nonmetal One atom has a high electronegativity value, while the other value is relatively low.
A chlorine atom becomes a chloride ion when it gains an electron from a metal atom, such as sodium.
An ionic bond forms between a metal and a nonmetal. Ionic bonding transfers electrons.
No. It is a nonmetal.
The outer electrons of a metal atom that bonds with a nonmetal atom are either transferred to the nonmetal to form an ionic bond or shared with the nonmetal to form one or more covalent bonds.

At least one, and usually all, of the valence electrons of the metal atom is donated to the valence shell of the nonmetal atom.

it forms an ionic compound
It becomes a negatively charged ion with a charge of 1-.
The metal loses its electrons and trannsfers them to the non-metal to form an ioinic bond.
Generally the electronegativity is greater for nonmetals.
One atom is a metal and one is a nonmetal One atom has a high electronegativity value, while the other value is relatively low.
