H2, N2, O2, F2, CL2, BR2, I2
Molecules
(Nonmetal + nonmetal) Share electrons
Ions
(Metal +nonmetal) Atoms transfer electrons.
Cations
ions with a positive charge; atoms that lost electrons. Metals tend to ose electrons to form cations.
Anions
Ions with a negative charge; atoms that gained electrons. Nonmetals tend to gain electrons to form anions.
