Question

when ionic compounds form, the ions come together in a way that balances out the charges on the ions. true or false?

Answer 1

false- - ions are when one element gives up and electron and another element takes it so they can fill up their outer shells.

Answer 2

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).
