ocean in ionnic bonding, during the transfer of electrons between two neutrally charged atoms, one electron moves from one atom to another. What are the new relative charges between two atoms

The new relative charges between two atoms are +1 and -1 for cation and anion respectively.

Explanation:

When an atom accepts an electron, negative charge is created on atom and is called as anion.

When atom loses an electron, positive charge is created on atom and is called as cation.

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Thus when one electron is lost by an atom it forms one positive charge and when one electron is gained by an atom it forms one negative charge.

Foe example: sodium atom loses its one valance electron and form cation . Chlorine atom gain one electron and form anion .  they both combine to form sodium chloride through ionic bond.
