| When is an ionic compound formed? | When a metal and a non-metal are bonded together. |
| What is an ion? | An an atom that has lost or gained electrons to get a full outer shell of electrons. |
| What do ions always have? | A charge |
| How does an ionic bond form? | when metal atoms give electron(s) from their outershell to non-metal atoms to form an ion. |
