In ionic bonding, an attraction is formed between a cation (which easily gives up an electron to be positive) and an anion (which easily accepts an electron to be negatively charged). An electrostatic coulomb attraction force is then felt between the two ions, holding them together (positive and negative charges attract). It should be noted that no protons are exchanged in the formation of an ion. The cation has an overall positive charge because the removal of electrons has exposed the positive charge of the nucleus. Anions seek greater stability through gaining electrons, completing the nearly-filled valence shell. Therefore, the coulomb attraction is actually between unscreened protons from the cation and the overcompensating electron cloud surrounding the anion.
What else can I help you with?
Do covalent bonds hold together ions or atoms?
Covalent bonds hold atoms together. Ionic bonds hold ions together
What type of force hold ions together?
to my knowledge, Ionic bonds hold them together, hope this helps :)
Why do ions stick together in chemical compounds?
Ions stick together in chemical compounds because of electrostatic attraction between positively and negatively charged ions. This attraction forms strong bonds that hold the ions together in a stable structure.
What force hold the ions together in sodium chloride?
an electrovalent force
What is an structure?
ions are the smallest particles in the molecule. these ions are attached by some attraction forces .by these forces they hold together
What holds different atoms or ions together in a chemical compound?
Chemical bonds hold different atoms or ions together in a chemical compound. These bonds are formed through the sharing or transfer of electrons between the atoms or ions.
Which bonds hold ions together in table salt?
Ionic bonds are present in table salt.
Ions hold together in an ionic bond because?
They are attracted to each other due to their opposing charges.
Why ions remain together in a compound?
Ions remain together in a compound due to electrostatic attraction between opposite charged ions. This attraction, known as ionic bonding, is strong enough to hold the ions together in a stable structure. The arrangement of ions in a compound is dictated by the ratio of positive to negative charges to achieve overall charge balance.
What type of force holds ions together in salts such as NaCl?
Electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged particles. For example consider sodium chloride NaCl, if the compound were to be broken down into its ions it would look like Na+ and a Cl- the opposite charges attract and hold the individual ions together forming a crystal lattice, a solid.
What The ions in most ionic compounds are organized into a?
crystal lattice structure, where positively charged ions are surrounded by negatively charged ions in a repeating pattern. This arrangement allows for the strong electrostatic forces to hold the ions together in a stable ionic compound.
What type of force holds ions together in salts such as CaF2?
Ionic bonds hold ions together in salts such as CaF2. These bonds form when one atom gives up electrons to another, resulting in positively and negatively charged ions that are attracted to each other.
