1. An ionic bond is an attraction between oppositely charged ___________________.
2. Anions have a ____________________ charge.
3. An atom becomes an ion by losing or gaining ____________________.
4. The ________________ rule states that atoms tend to gain, lose or share electrons in order to
acquire a full set of valence electrons.
