Do opposite charged atoms attract creating a bond between the atoms?

Answer 1

An atom with a charge is an #"ion"#.........

Furthermore, it is certainly possible for oppositely charged ions to interact to create non-molecular ionic solids, in which electrostatic forces hold the ionic lattice of interlayered anions and cations together.

Yes, opposite charged atoms can attract each other, leading to the formation of a bond between the atoms. This type of bond is known as an ionic bond, where one atom transfers electrons to another atom, resulting in the formation of ions with opposite charges that are attracted to each other.
