Sagot :

Answer: C.Positive Ions

Explanation:

In all of these reactions, the metal atoms give electrons to the non-metal atoms. The metal atoms become positive ions and the non-metal atoms become negative ions. There is a strong electrostatic force of attraction between these oppositely charged ions – this is called an ionic bond.
