What is the charge of each atom before and after forming ionic bond?
Before the forming of the bond atoms are neutral; after the forming of the bond atoms become cations or anions.
What is the charge of each atom before forming the ionic bond?
Before the forming of the bond atoms are neutral; after the forming of the bond atoms become cations or anions.
Positively or negatively charged atoms?
are called ions - cations and anions.
Do in ionic bonding atoms loose or gain electrons?
Actually both. Atoms gain electrons to form negatively charged anions whereas when atoms lose electrons positively charged cations are formed. Ionic bond is the force of attraction between cations and anions
What are positivey and negativey carged atoms called?
In general: ionsSpecially:'+' , positives are called cations (cf. cathode, the electrode which attracts cations) e.g. H+, Na+'-' , negatives are called anions (cf. anode) e.g. OH- , CO32-

How do the sizes of cations and anions relate to the atoms they form from?
Cations are formed when atoms lose electrons and hence are smaller in size than the corresponding atoms. Anions are formed when atoms gain electrons and hence are larger in size than the corresponding atoms.
What type of compound does cations and anions compose?
Cations and anions compse ionic chemical compounds.
What is the relationship between cations and their atoms?
Cations are ions with a positive charge. Anions have a negative charge.

What is an atom that has a net positive or negative electric charge?
Positive atoms: cations. Negative atoms: anions
What is the makeup of an ionic compound?
Ionic compounds are formed by the combination of positively charged ions (cations) with negatively charged ions (anions). The cations are typically metal atoms that have lost electrons, while the anions are nonmetal atoms that have gained electrons. The ratio of cations to anions in an ionic compound is such that the overall compound is electrically neutral.

What is a group of atoms with with a positive or negative charge?
A polyatomic ion is a group of atoms with a charge.
