Ionic bonding occurs between charged particles. These may be atoms or groups of atoms. In either case, the particles must have lost or gained electrons. Electrons have a negative charge, so a particle that gains electrons gains a negative charge. Equally, a particle that loses electrons must be left with a positive charge (assuming it started with no charge). Since opposite charges attract, the particles in an ionic compound are held together by this attraction.
