Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

Forming an Ion

This 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
