Detailed explanation-1: -An ionic bond is formed by the complete transfer of some electrons from one atom to another. The atom losing one or more electrons becomes a cation-a positively charged ion. The atom gaining one or more electron becomes an anion-a negatively charged ion.
Detailed explanation-2: -If atoms lose electrons, they become positive ions, or cations. If atoms gain electrons, they become negative ions, or anions. Consider the example of fluorine (see Figure below). A fluorine atom has nine protons and nine electrons, so it is electrically neutral.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ionization is the process by which ions are formed by gain or loss of an electron from an atom or molecule. If an atom or molecule gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged (an anion), and if it loses an electron, it becomes positively charged (a cation).
Detailed explanation-4: -If an atom gains electrons, it’s overall charge becomes negative. If an atom loses electrons, it’s overall charge becomes positive.
