An ionic bond, of course.
U
when forces of attraction overcome forces of repulsion
Can an ionic compound ever consist of a cation-cation or anion- anion bond? Explain.
Can an ionic compound ever consist of a cation-cation or anion- anion bond? Explain.
It is held together by electrostatic attraction between the ions in the compound. In the bond, there is a complete transfer of electrons between the atoms, so this makes the cation lose electrons and the anion gain electrons. The cation becomes positive and the anion becomes negative, and therefore there is a large attraction between the atoms.
.... between one or more postive (metal) ions and one or more negative ions like chloride, sulfate, nitrate, carbonate etc. Example: 2Al3+ + 3SO42- --> Al2(SO4)3

A cation and an anion
Ionic bond between Rb+ cation and Cl- anion.
Ions. And they can also be called anion or cation depending on their charges. An anion is a negative ion, a cation is a positive ion.
.... between one or more postive (metal) ions and one or more negative ions like chloride, sulfate, nitrate, carbonate etc. Example: 2Al3+ + 3SO42- --> Al2(SO4)3
Ionic bond between Na+ cation and Cl- anion
No, an ionic bond is formed between a cation and an anion.
The ionic bond is formed between Cu2+ cation and CO32- anion.
There is no K-O bond in KOH as this is an ionic compound formed between the cation, K + and the polyatomic anion, OH - So, the electronegative difference here causes this ionic bond to form by attraction in whole as shown above.
