Atoms and Molecules (cont)
{"Image DocumentName": "Atoms and Molecules (cont)", "Image ImageDescription": "Ionic chemical bonds. Atoms that have a net positive or negative charge are called ions which are highly reactive. Cations have a net positive charge. Anions have a net negative charge. Ions present in body fluids are very important in cell function and water balance. Atoms (or molecules) with positive and negative charges are attracted to each other and will stay together to form an ionic bond which is strong. For example: table salt is sodium chloride formed by ionic bonds between adjacent sodium and chloride atoms (ions).", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
