Question

in order to build an ionic compound that sticks together you need atoms with
neutral charges
like charges
opposite charges
no charges

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Ionic compounds form via electrostatic attraction between charged atoms (ions). Opposite charges attract, creating the strong ionic bonds that hold the compound together. Neutral/no charges cannot form this attraction, and like charges repel, which would not create a stable compound.

Answer:

opposite charges
