an ionic bond occurs when one atom gives an electron to another so that both atoms have full outer shells. these electrons have a negative magnetic charge to counter the positive charge that protons have in the nucleus of the atom (the center). when one atom gains an electron, the atom gains a negative charge and when another atom looses an electron it gains a positive charge. these particles are no longer referred to as atoms, they are now called ions. this creates a magnetic pull between the two ions, thus creating a molecule with an ionic charge.
