PART_16 WHAT IS FORMATION OF IONIC BOND?ionic bond, type of linkage formed from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a chemical compound.An ionic bond is always between two atoms of which one can donate electron and other can accept .What is the formation of ionic and covalent bonds?Covalent or molecular compounds form when elements share electrons in a covalent bond to form molecules.Are ionic bonds formed between metals and nonmetals?Ionic bonds form only between metals and nonmetals. That's because metals “want” to give up electrons, and nonmetals “want” to gain electrons.What is an example of a ionic compound formation?What is the formation of ions?An ion is an atom with a charge (positive or negative). To form an ion, an element must gain or lose an electron.Ionic compounds include salts, oxides, hydroxides, sulphides, and the majority of inorganic compounds.For example, the sodium ions attract chloride ions and the chloride ion attracts sodium ions.Well!! Thanks for all!!
