metals are always cations, meaning that all metals are positive, and a bond can't be between two positive molecules. only a positive and a negative. metalloids on the other hand can be positive or negaive
Yes, ions are charged molecules by definition. There are two types cations (with positive charges) and anions (with negative charges).
There are two types of charges of ions that are the negative and the positive charges. Ionic bonding is between 2 types of elements;the metals and non-metals. Metals loose electrons while non-metals gain electrons. when they form ions they obtain charges. The metals always gain a positive charge as they loose electrons while the non-metals always gain a negative charge as they gain electrons.
The attraction between two oppositely charged ions is called ionic bond. This happens when one atom gives up an electron (forming a positive ion) and another atom gains that electron (forming a negative ion), resulting in an electrostatic attraction between them.
positive ion - magnesium(cation) negative ion-chloride (anion)
This atom gain two electrons and become an anion.
If a conventional flow (positive charge moving from positive to negative) and an electron flow (negative charge moving from negative to positive) meet, they will simply cancel each other out since they are opposite in direction. The net result will be a neutralized electrical system.
but I also need the sum of the atomic numbers for the two elements involved in the polyatomic ion to be 13.

Nothing "happens". They meet, and the rays continue merrily along their ways, never to meet again!
A positive ion and a negative ion. two oppositely charged ions

A tsunami happens.

because of two cloud meet each other
