Best Answer

An ionic bond is the electrostatic attraction between charged atoms or molecules called ions. The positively charged ions are termed cations , the negative anions. Simple bonding explanations for compounds such as NaCl, common salt, refer to the transfer of electrons from the metal to the non-metal.
