When electrons are formed, do they exchange electrons or do they interact ?. |

Answer» Forming an IonThis electron exchange RESULTS in an electrostatic ATTRACTION between the two ATOMS called an ionic bond. An atom that loses one or more valence electrons to become a positively charged ion is known as a cation, while an atom that GAINS electrons and becomes NEGATIVELY charged is known as an anion |
