false- - ions are when one element gives up and electron and another element takes it so they can fill up their outer shells.
Marcie has given the correct answer for forming ionic compounds; however, the answer is incorrect for the question asked. The ions DO come together to balance out the charges. For example, 1 Na ion (with a +1 charge) adds to 1 chloride ion (with a -1 charge) to form NaCl (with no charge). Another example is MgF2. Mg ion (with a +2 charge) adds to two fluoride ions (with a -1 charge for each F ion= -2 total) to form one molecule of MgF2 (with no charge).
where in the atmosphere does most weather occur.
True. When ionic compounds form, the ions come together in a way that balances out the charges on the ions. In other words, the positively charged ions (cations) are attracted to the negatively charged ions (anions) in such a way that the total positive charge equals the total negative charge, resulting in a neutral compound. This balancing of charges is important to maintain overall electrical neutrality in the compound.
