Respuesta :

1.) ionic bond

2.)ions

3.) the number of protons stay the same. (Wasn’t sure what it was asking. )

4.)an atom is neutral because it has the same amount of protons and neutrons

5.)because ions either have more positive protons or more negative electrons making the ion either positive or negative
