[DOC] [TLE] Positive and Negative Ions: Cations and Anions - dummies [PAR] 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. [DOC] [TLE] Ion - Wikipedia [PAR] Ion. ... Ions can be created, by either chemical or physical means, via ionization. In chemical terms, if a neutral atom loses one or more electrons, it has a net positive charge and is known as a cation. If an atom gains electrons, it has a net negative charge and is known as an anion.

charge. [DOC] [TLE] Electron Configuration of Cations and Anions - Boundless [PAR] anion. A negatively charged ion, as opposed to a cation ... These charged atoms 
are known as ions. ... Removal of this one electron leaves sodium stable: Its 
outermost shell now contains eight electrons, giving sodium the electron 
configuration of neon. Having gained a positive charge, the sodium ion is called 
a cation. [DOC] [TLE] Naming Ionic Compounds - Boundless [PAR] An ionic compound is named first by its cation and then by its anion. ... But to be 
considered an ion, they must carry a positive or negative charge. Thus, in an 
ionic bond, one 'bonder' must have a positive charge and the other a negative 
one. ... different positive charges, the names of ionic compounds derived from
