Answer: A

A positively charged ion will bond with negatively charged ion. This interaction is called ionic bonds, where ions can form a compound. However, not all compounds are ionic, but each elements on the periodic table is capable of forming an ion. Atoms form ions when they either take up or release electrons in order to fill their outer shell. Positive ions are called cations that are typically metals like copper or sodium. Meanwhile, negatively charged ions are anions, made from nonmetallic elements like oxygen and sulfur.
