Question

a positively charged ion will bond with
a a negatively charged ion.
b a neutral atom.
c another positively charged ion.
d nothing else.

Explanation:

Ionic bonding is based on the principle that opposite charges attract. A positively charged ion (cation) will be attracted to and bond with a negatively charged ion (anion) because of the electrostatic force between opposite charges. A neutral atom has no net charge to attract a positive ion, and two positive ions would repel each other (like charges repel). So a positively charged ion bonds with a negatively charged ion.

Answer:

A. a negatively charged ion.
