What are two types of ions involved in an ionic bond?

Answer 1

In Chemistry, there are 2 types of ions: anions and cations. Anions are negatively charged ions. Cations are positively charged ions.

I know this is not part of your question but just for info, do not mistake these with anode and cathode in electronics. I sometimes do...anode is a POSITIVE ELECTRODE. Cathode is a NEGATIVE ELECTRODE.

Answer 2

* Anions are negatively charged ions. Anions are negatively charged because there are more electrons associated with them than there are protons in their nuclei. * Cations are positively charged ions. Cations are the opposite of anions, since cations have fewer electrons than protons. * Dianion: a dianion is a species which has two negative charges on it; for example, the aromatic dianion pentalene. * Radical ions: radical ions are ions that contain an odd number of electrons and are mostly very reactive and unstable.

Answer 3

Ionic bonding is a type of chemical bond that involves the electrostatic attraction. The charged atoms or molecules are termed ions, positive ions are called "cations" negative "anions". Electrostatic interaction occurs between the positively charged and negatively charged ions.

Answer 4

An ion is an atom or molecule which has a net charge. In an uncharged atom or molecule, there are an equal number of protons and electrons, so their charges cancel each other out. A Cation has given up one or more electrons, so it has a net positive charge. An Anion has taken on one or more electrons, so it has a net negative charge.

Answer 5

An atom that has lost an electron is a positively charged ion called a cation, and an atom that has gained an electron is a negatively charged ion called an anion.

Answer 6

one of them are complex cations.

Answer 7

Its simple a cation and a anion.

Answer 8

Positive and negative
