options: ionic, covalent, metal, nonmetal, positive, negative, neutral, cation, anion, same, opposite

Explanation:

1. The first blank is about the type of bond formed by electron transfer, which is Ionic bond.
2. Elements that lose electrons are Metals.
3. When metals lose electrons, they have a Positive charge.
4. Positively charged ions are Cations.
5. Elements that gain electrons are Nonmetals.
6. When nonmetals gain electrons, they have a Negative charge.
7. Negatively charged ions are Anions.
8. The charges that attract are Opposite (positive and negative are opposite charges).
