So that it is stable. A stable ion means that it is no longer reactive and can be used in daily life. Salt is a good example of this. Salt is etable because it has found an atom with which it can share 8 valence electrons with.

A positively charged ion will bond with?
A negative charge attracts a positive charge and repels a negative charge. OPPOSITES ATTRACT ;)
What is it called when atom has a positive or negative charge?
Atoms with a positive or negative charge resulting from a loss or gain of electrons are known as ions.
When an atom has different amounts of protons and electrons it is called an?
An Ion. An ion can have an overall positive or negative charge. The negative charge of an electron exactly cancels the positive charge of a proton, so when an atom has an equal number of both, it carries zero charge. An ion with more protons than electrons has a positive charge, and is more specifically termed a cation. An ion that has more electrons than protons, and therefore a negative overall charge, is called an anion.
Do positive objects contain only positive charges?
No. A positive ion merely has more positive charges (protons) than negative charges (electrons).
What happens when you lose or gain an electron?
As a neutral atom lose an electron then it becomes a positive ion As it gains an electron then it becomes a negative ion
What is positive ion and negative ion in NACl?
Na is positive ion,Cl is negative ion
What is a positive and negative ion?
when an atom loose electron it become negative ion and when it gains electron it become positive ion
Can ion have a positive and negative charge?
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.
Is a positive and positive a negative?
it is a negative and positve ion sweg
Does chlorine form a positive or a negative ion?
Negative ion. Cl-
Can ions have positive and negative charge?
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.
Why does a positive ion bond with a negative ion?
To become more stable: positive+negative=neutral. Neutral is more stable than positive and/or negative.
Is boron a positive or negative ion?
It is a positive ion. Its' charge is 3+.
The negative ion F has the same electronic configuration as the positive ion?
The negative ion F has the same electronic configuration as the positive ion Li?
Does flurine form a positive or negative ion?
Fluorine is negative and will produce a negative ion.
Is the charge of a zinc ion positive or negative?
Zinc ion (cation) is positive.
