Ionic bonding occurs between a pair of atoms when one of the atoms gives up its valence electrons to the other. The result is that both atoms have filled shells. Both atoms also end up with a charge, one negative, and the other positive. We call the positive charged atom a cation, and the negatively charged one, an anion.
hi
The actual bond occurs because the two new ions now have opposite charges, which attract them to one another.

Is a molecule formed by ionic bonds?
No, molecules are formed by covalent bonds.
Covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons and ionic bonds are formed when positive and negative ions bond to form an ionic compound.?
Ionic - electron transfer Covalent - electron share (co - share)
What are ions formed by covalent bonds?
Ions are formed in the case of ionic bonds and not covalent bonds.
Difference of ionic and covalent bonds?
Ionic bonds are bonds formed by a metal and a nonmetal (e.g. CaCl2), while covalent bonds are bonds formed between two nonmetals (e.g. CO2).
How are Ionic bonds are formed between atoms that have large differences in?
Ionic bonds are formed between atoms with large differences in electronegativity.
What types of elements are between ionic bonds?
Ionic bonds are formed between a metal and a nonmetal.
What bonds are formed when atoms exchanged electrons?
ionic bonds!
What type of bond is formed?
As a metal thorium has metallic bonds; in compounds ionic bonds are formed.
How is a covelent bond different from an ionic bond?
ionic bonds are stronger than the covalent.its because the covalent bonds are formed by sharing of electons and ionic bonds are formed by give and take of elecrons which complete the octates of atoms
Chemical Bonds formed by the attraction of oppositely charged ions are called A. Ionic Bonds B. Magnetic Bonds C. Covalent Bonds D. Cooridinate Bonds or E. None of the above?
A, ionic bonds A, ionic bonds
Does a crystal being hit by a hammer contain ionic or metallic bonds?
Ionic. Crystal structures are formed by ionic bonds and metallic bonds are, well, between metals.
What are ionic bonds used in?
Ionic bonds are formed between "metals" and "non-metals" and involve the transfer of electrons.
