metals or cations, lose electrons to get the "perfect" noble gas electron configuration. nonmetals, or anions, gain electrons to do the same. cations and anions form when there is an exact number of electrons transferred so that both cation and anion get these noble gas electron configurations. then they are strongly attracted to each other due to the differences in ionic charge.
What else can I help you with?
What is responsible for an ionic bond?
An ionic bond is a bond that is resulted between two atoms because of an electron transfer. This happens by thephenomenaatoms have to be attracted to other atoms who will complete their valence electron shell.
What happens when a sodium and chlorine atom exchange an electron?
They form an ionic bond
What type of bond is formed when the electron must be donated?
This is an ionic bond.
What is in ionic bond?
It is a bond that transfer electron.
What is the similarities of an ionic bond and an covalent bond?
In ionic bonding electron are transfer whereas in covalent bonding their is sharing of electron
What type of bond made when one atoms gives an electron to another?
ionic bond
What happens when a sodium atom that lost an electron comes near a chlorine atom that has gained an electron?
Sodium chloride is formed by an ionic bond.
What happens when a sodium atom that has lost an electron come near a chlorine atom that has gained an electron?
Sodium chloride is formed by an ionic bond.
What happens to an atom of fluorine (F) when it forms an ionic bond in which it has the same electron configuration as the noble gas neon?
It accepts one electron.
A bond that occurs when an atom transfers an electron to another atom is called a?
Ionic bond
