The answer is anions. Cations are positively-charged ions (in this case K+) while anions are negatively-charged ions (in this case Cl-). The ions attract each other through electrostatic charges and arrange themselves in an ordered fashion to form a lattice

Explanation:

A bond formed due to the transfer of electrons is known as an ionic bond.

For example, KCl is an ionic compound and due to the difference in electronegativity potassium has partial positive charge and chlorine have partial negative charge.

Also, it is known that opposite charges attract each other. So, cations have positive charge and anions have negative charge.

Thus, we can conclude that the reason salt crystals, such as kcl, hold together so well is because the cations are strongly attracted to anions.

Yes. If you put solutions containing the same concentration table salt, glucose and starch in different bags and place the bags in water (i.e., 0M) solution, then the bag with salt will contain more water after 15 minutes than the bag with glucose, which will contain more than the bag with starch.
