The correct answer is a metal atom forms a cation, and a nonmetal atom forms an anion. This is because metals are less electronegative than nonmetals and will therefore give electrons to nonmetals. Atoms that give up electrons will have a positive charge therefore becoming a cation while atoms that accept electrons will have a negative charge therefore becoming an anion.
Ions that have the same charge can't be attracted to each other since it takes a positive and negative charge to cause attractive forces.
A less electronegative atom will transfer electrons to a more electronegative atom.
A metal (cation) can pull electrons from another metal (not an ion) but that does not form an attractive force between the two metals (You will learn more about this when you go over reduction potentials, redox reactions, and electrochemistry).
I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
Answer:
The mass of water 
= 39.18 gm
Explanation:
Mass of iron 
= 32.5 gm
Initial temperature of iron 
= 22.4°c = 295.4 K
Specific heat of iron 
= 0.448 
Mass of water =
Specific heat of water 
Initial temperature of water 
= 336 K
Final temperature after equilibrium 
= 59.7°c = 332.7 K
When iron rod is submerged into water then
Heat lost by water = Heat gain by iron rod
( - ) = ( - )
Put all the values in above formula we get
× 4.2 × ( 336 - 332.7 ) = 32.5 × 0.448 × ( 332.7 - 295.4 )
= 39.18 gm
Therefore the mass of water = 39.18 gm
