An ion forms when an atom gains or loses electrons to have a stable electron configuration. When an atom gains electrons, it forms a negatively charged ion (anion), and when it loses electrons, it forms a positively charged ion (cation).
An atom must lose one or more electrons in order to become a positive ion, and an atom must gain one or more electrons in order to become a negative ion.

what happen when a magnesium ion is attracted to a chlorine ion?
They form an Ionic compound.
What happen when a magnesium ion is attracted to a chlorine?
They form an Ionic compound.
What is most likely to form a negative ion?
N and P for example. Nitrogen will form a N3- the nitride ion.
What might happen if a negatively charged ion comes into contact with a positively charged ion?
They combine to form ionic bond.These bonds are strong.
What ions will the following elements form from phosphorus strontium oxygen gallium lythium?
Phosphorus will form the P3- ion, strontium will form the Sr2+ ion, oxygen will form the O2- ion, gallium will form the Ga3+ ion, and lithium will form the Li+ ion.
What must first happen in order for you to see?
ion know
What must happen to form a positive ion?
you must take i have no idea lol j
What must happen for an ion to happen?
Reacting Nitrogen Gas with Alkali or Alkaline earth Metals form trivalent N3- ions.
What must happen to form a positive or negative ion?
To form a positive ion, an atom must lose one or more electrons. To form a negative ion, an atom must gain one or more electrons. This process creates charged particles called ions.

Is hydrogencarbonate a compound or a element?
Niether. Hydrogencarbonate is an ion. It does not exist on its own, but must be combined with a positive ion to form a compound.
