The positive ion and negative ion before they are ions they were neutral atom. Then when the metals loses electrons it's protons (which is positively charged) will become more then electrons (which is negatively charge), so it become positive ion, but where it loses it's electrons? The answer is that it gives it's useless electrons to nonmetals were it is useful there and then the non metal changes into negative ion due to having electrons more than protons.

What type of ions bond together to form a compound?

When discussing ions, remember that opposites attract. Therefore, when ions bond together, you will find positive ions interacting with negative ions so the final molecule has no charge overall.


When ions having a positive charge form bonds with ions having a negative charge the charge on the resulting compound is what?

The charge is 0 if the positive and negative charges were equal


When ions with a positive charge bond with ions with a negative charge the resulting charge is?

How can ionic compounds be neutral if they consist of positive and negative ions?

Ionic compounds are neutral because, even though they consist of positive and negative ions, the relative proportions between those ions are such that the total number of negative charges is the same as the total number of positive charges, thus summing to zero.

Why the compound Kl it is electrically neutral?

The compound KI, which consists of potassium (K+) and iodide (I-) ions, is electrically neutral because the positive charge of the potassium ion balances out the negative charge of the iodide ion. This results in an overall neutral compound.


Is it true that in ionic compounds the oxidation number is the same as the charge on the ion . a neutral ionic compound can only contain ions with identical charges?

No, it is not true that a neutral ionic compound can only contain ions with identical charges. You can have, for example, a compound that consists of twice as many positive ions as negative ions, but the positive ions have only half the charge; +1 ions bonded to -2 ions. There are many different possible ratios with which different elements or radicals combine. As long as the total amount of charge adds up to zero, you still have a neutral ionic compound.


Do ions form electrically positive compounds?

The positive ions and negative ions attract each other. This attractive force is an ionic bond. Each positive ion balances the charge of one negative ion so overall, the compound is electrically neutral. P.S. This is from my textbook. Good luck. :)
