Cations (Positively-Charged Ions) and Anions (Negatively-Charged Ions) Are Formed

Cations are positively-charged ions formed when metals lose electrons, while anions are negatively-charged ions formed when nonmetals gain electrons. The electrostatic attraction between cations and anions brings the particles together to form ionic compounds, such as sodium chloride which is formed from sodium cations and chloride anions.

Cations (positively-charged ions) and anions (negatively-charged ions) are formed

when a metal loses electrons, and a nonmetal gains those electrons. The electrostatic
attraction between the positives and negatives brings the particles together and creates
an ionic compound, such as sodium chloride.
