What type of bond holds the electrolytes in the body together?

Answer 1

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.
