Detailed explanation-1: -An ionic bond is formed by the complete transfer of some electrons from one atom to another. The atom losing one or more electrons becomes a cation-a positively charged ion. The atom gaining one or more electron becomes an anion-a negatively charged ion.
Detailed explanation-2: -Positively charged ions are called cations, and negatively charged ions are called anions . These ions can form when a metal reacts with a non-metal, by transferring electrons . The oppositely charged ions are strongly attracted to each other, forming ionic bonds .
Detailed explanation-3: -Ionic bonding Definition: An ionic bond is formed when valence electrons are transferred from one atom to the other to complete the outer electron shell.
Detailed explanation-4: -The opposite charges on the ions cause the ions to bond, or be held together, by electrostatic forces. An ionic bond is a bond between ions where oppositely charged atoms attract each other and cancel their charges to produce neutral compounds.
