When an atom that has lost an electron (positively charged ion) comes into contact with an atom that has gained an electron (negatively charged ion), they can attract each other due to their opposite charges. This interaction typically leads to the formation of an ionic bond, which stabilizes both atoms by allowing them to achieve a more favorable electron configuration. The resultant compound is often more stable than the individual ions.
