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.

A group of environmentalists were discussing the benefits and drawbacks associated with using fossil fuels. Which argument <span>best </span>fits the conversation?
Fossil fuels are cheaper than alternative forms of energy.Fossil fuel reserves will never be depleted.<span>Fossil fuels are easily renewed. </span><span>Fossil fuel use does not affect the environment.</span>
V ( H2SO4) = 35 mL / 1000 => 0.035 L
M ( H2SO4) = ?
V ( NaOH ) = 25 mL / 1000 => 0.025 L
M ( NaOH ) = 0.320 M
number of moles NaOH:
n = M x V
n = 0.025 x 0.320 => 0.008 moles of NaOH
Mole ratio:
<span>2 NaOH + H2SO4 = Na2SO4 + 2 H2O
</span>
2 moles NaOH ---------------------- 1 mole H2SO4
0.008 moles moles NaOH ---------- ??
0.008 x 1 / 2 => 0.004 moles of H2SO4 :
Therefore:
M ( H2SO4) = n / V
M = 0.004 / 0.035
= 0.114 M
hope this helps!
