Answer:
Ions are atoms that have either gain or lose electrons from the neutral atom.
A loss of electrons results in a positive ion, called a cation, a gain of electron results in a negative ion called an anion.
Ionic compounds are formed by the combination of a cation and anion, or metal + nonmetal.
When naming ionic compounds, name the cation first, and the anion second, changing the ending to ide.
