∙ 16y agoThe atoms are held together by opposite charges. Since the electrons are given to the main atom, the separate atoms become ions and have a charge. It is this charge that holds it together.

...no, I kid. They share electrons.
...and sin.

Bond that holds ions together?
Yes,bonds hold ions together through strong electrostatic forces between the cations and anions.(in ionic bonds).
What holds ions together in a crystal?
sodium :)
How are valence electrons used in ionic bonding?
Ions are used in bonding to bring oppositely charged ions together. This is known as ionic bonding and it is a type of chemical bond.
Attraction that holds positive and negative ions together?
This is electrostatic attraction, that tends to bring together electrical charges with different sign. Ions do not collapse one into the other since when the get to near, repulsion between external electrons orbitals counterbalance the electrostatic force created by the net ions charge.
What type of bond holds the electrolytes in the body together?
Electrolytes in the body are generally found in solution. Electrolytes are ions (such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and chloride). These ions are solvated by water molecules and the solvated ions are free to move within the solvent. In this sense they are not held together. Some ions are present in solid structures in the body and these are held in place by ionic bonds. Ionic bonds are electrostatic in nature and are caused by the electrostatic attraction between ions of opposite charge.

What type of bond is the electrostatic force that holds ions together?
Ionic bonds
What forces typically holds ions together?
electrostatic forces-apex
What holds the ions together in galena?
The strength of the ionic bonds and the attraction among all the ions.
Do covalent bonds hold together ions or atoms?
Covalent bonds hold atoms together. Ionic bonds hold ions together
What holds the ions in an ionic compound together?
the force of attraction the force of attraction
What types of chemical bonds between positive and negative ions?
an ionic bond holds these crystals together
Is ammonium ion a covalent or ionic bond?
The ammonium ions itself is held together by covalent bonds, but it will form ionic bonds with negative ions.
How are the ions held together in the compound magnesium chloride?
In any ionic compound including magnesium chloride, the ions are held together by ionic bonds.

What kind of bonds KCI together?
The bond that holds potassium chloride or KCl is an ionic bond. An ionic bond is type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions.
