Ionic bonds are a result of electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions. Ionic bonds exist because some elements like Na and Cl have a tendency to capture or to lose one or more electrons. As a result of this there is a net positive or negative charge and the atoms are now called ions. Ions with opposite charges attract each other.

∙ 13y agoNaCl is also known as sodium chloride. Sodium has valency +1 and Chlorine has valency -1. So, sodium donates one electron to chlorine and thus sodium becomes electrically positive and chlorine become electrically negative. They is a strong force called electromagnetic force which attracts each other. Thus, the bond formed is a ionic bond.

What is the result of NaCl bonding?
ionic bond
What compounds exhibit ionic bonding?
NaCl
How do you describe the bonding of NaCl?
ionic bond
What is the bonding process of salt?
Ionic bonding. Salt, NaCl, contains Na+ and Cl- ions.
What type of bonding takes places when Na Cl- combine to form NaCl?
ionic bonding
How does bonding in NaCl allow it to conduct electricity?
ionic compound
What is a compound with ionic bonding?
ionic compound eg: NaCl
Is NaCl ionic bonding or covalent bonding?
It is ionic bonding because Na is sodium which is a metal and Cl is chlorine which is a nonmetal. Ionic Bonding happens between nonmetals and nonmetals.
What is electrostatic attraction between ions of opposite charge is called?
Ionic bonding as in NaCl (as opposed to covalent bonding as in CH4).
Is NaCL formed through ionic bonding?
*The formula is NaCl. It is formed through ionic bonding due to the strong electrostatic attractions between the positive sodium ions (Na+) and the negative chloride ions (Cl-).
What are five realistic examples of ionic bonding?
Ionic bonding: NaCl, KBr, CuCl2, LiCl, NaI Covalent bonding: SiO2, CaO, MgO, UO2, ThO2
What examples are there for ionic and covalent bonding?
ionic - Sodium Chloride Covalent - Water ionic - Sodium Chloride Covalent - Water
