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.

Cations are ions with net positive charge. Anionshave net negative charge.


Do ions have a positive or negative charge?

Ions can have either a positive or negative charge. Positive ions, known as cations, have more protons than electrons, resulting in a net positive charge. Negative ions, known as anions, have more electrons than protons, giving them a net negative charge.
