🗑
What type of elements tend to become Cations?   Metals  
🗑
What type of elements tend to become Anions?   Non-metals & Noble Gases.  
🗑
What type of elements form Ionic Compounds?   Metals + Non-metals  
🗑
What is a Polyatomic Ion?   Atoms of 2 or more elements held together (bonded) by the attraction of positive & negative charges on an atomic level with an overall electrical charge.  
🗑
What does the prefix "poly" mean?   many  
🗑
What is an Ionic Compound?   Atoms of two or more elements held together (bonded) by the attractive forces between positive and negative electrical charges. A compound made up of Cations + Anions.
