That's correct! When atoms gain or lose electrons, they become ions with an overall positive or negative charge. Positive ions are called cations, and negative ions are called anions.


What are positive and negative ions called?

Positive ions are called cations, and negative ions are called anions. Cations have a net positive charge because they have lost electrons, while anions have a net negative charge because they have gained electrons.

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.
