Question

ions are examples of charged particles. what happens when two positively charged ions come into contact with each other?

○ they form bonds.

○ they repel each other.

○ they combine.

○ they attract one another.

Explanation:

In physics (a subfield of Natural Science), the principle of electric charges states that like charges repel each other and opposite charges attract. Since both ions are positively charged (like charges), they will repel each other. Forming bonds or combining is typical of opposite - charged particles (ionic bonding involves positive and negative ions), and attraction occurs between opposite charges, not like charges.

Answer:

B. They repel each other.
