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: -An anion is an ion with negative charge, meaning it has more electrons than protons. Anions are formed when an atom gains one or more electrons: the gain of the negatively-charged electron(s) results in an overall negative charge.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cations and Anions Ionic bonds involve a cation and an anion. The bond is formed when an atom, typically a metal, loses an electron or electrons, and becomes a positive ion, or cation. Another atom, typically a non-metal, is able to acquire the electron(s) to become a negative ion, or anion.
