When atoms lose electrons through an ionic bond they become?
Positive ions (or cations) - They are reducers.
What bond is formed between ions?
An ionic bond. When one atom loses electrons and another gains them, the two atoms become positively charged (when losing electrons) or negatively charged ( when gaining electrons) and the ions (charged atoms) are then attracted to each other.
The formation of an ionic bond involves the?
An ionic bond involves an attraction of ions of opposite charge.
Do covalent bond involves ions?
A covalent bond involves th sharing of electrons NOT ions. Ions are involved in ionic bonds.
What is the primary difference between a ionic and covalent bond?
In an ionic bond electrons are transferred and the bond is due to electrostatic attrcation between oppositely charged ions. in a covalent bond the electrons are shared .

What bonds are formed by the attraction of oppositely charged ions?
Good choice of words You are correct. The bond is an ionic bond
What class of elements tends to be involved in ionic bonding?
Metals and nonmetals tend to undergo ionic bonding when reacting with one another. Metals lose electrons and become positively charged ions, and the nonmetals gain these electrons and become negatively charged ions. The electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions forms the ionic bond.
What is the primary difference between a ionic and covalent bond?
In an ionic bond electrons are transferred and the bond is due to electrostatic attrcation between oppositely charged ions. in a covalent bond the electrons are shared .
What is a bond between atoms in which electrons are lost or gained?
Ionic bond is formed between the ions.
Can you describe an ionic bond?
Bond in which 1 atom gives up 1 or more electrons, and another accepts the electrons.
What kind of bond is the result of transfer of an electron?
Ionic Bond
What is the difference between electrons in a metallic or ionic bond?
In an ionic bond all of the electrons are localised to the ions, none are shared or free to move. In a metallic bond electrons are free and able to move about the lattice in the solid or the melt.
Is an ionic bond an attraction between oppostitely charged ions?
opposite
