Ions of opposite charge, cations and anions. Often these involve a metal cation and a non-metal anion but this is not always the case for example ammonium sulfate contains a poly atomic cation and a poly atomic anion and all of the elements present are non-metals.
A metal and a non-metal bonded are ionic.
when a metal forms bond with a non metal the bond is an ionic bond.
ionic
No. It is ionic. Potassium (K) only forms ionic bonds.
A+ ionic bond
The electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions forms an ionic bond.
when a metal forms bond with a non metal the bond is an ionic bond.
CsCl like NaCl is a salt. The cesium has an ionic bond with the chloride.
Ionic Bond
polar ionic i believe.
ionic
Ionic; it's a bond between a metal (Na) and a nonmetal (Cl).
No. It is ionic. Potassium (K) only forms ionic bonds.
A metal and a non-metal.
A+ ionic bond
The electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions forms an ionic bond.
Metals form cations, but before ionic bonding. An ionic bond forms from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged cations and anions. So the ions form first, then the ionic bond.
