Ionic compound atoms of various elements gain or lose electrons to?
[ "produce ions", "become ions", "flatten ions", "expel ions" ]
A
So far we have looked at ionic compounds, in which atoms of various elements gain or lose electrons to produce ions. The resulting ions are held together by strong attractions between oppositely charged particles. However, this only works for bonds between atoms in which one partner (the metal) has a tendency to lose e...
