The force of attraction in an ionic bond is electrostatic and in this unlike charges attract and like charges repel. This is similar to magnetism where opposite poles attract and like poles repel.
Both electrostatic and magnetic fields obey the inverse square law.

What type of bond is very hard and brittle?
ionic bonds
Are ionic bonds stronger or weaker if the ions are closer together?
Ionic bonds are formed by the attraction of the positively-charged ion to the negatively-charged ion, and the closer they are, the more attractive force. It is just like two magnets of opposite poles, you can slowly bring them together until the attractive force gets strong enough to slam them together.
Does silver chloride have ionic bonds or covalent bonds?
Ionic
Which bonds are characterized most to least ionic?
Chemical bonds that are least ionic are covalent bonds.
Chemical Bonds formed by the attraction of oppositely charged ions are called A. Ionic Bonds B. Magnetic Bonds C. Covalent Bonds D. Cooridinate Bonds or E. None of the above?
A, ionic bonds A, ionic bonds
What type of chemical bonds are present in salt?
Salt crystals are held together with ionic bonds. For example, table salt, NaCl, is composed of two ions. The Na ion is positive and the Cl ion is negative. The charges on these ions hold them together into the molecule NaCl. You can think about this like magnets. The positive end is attracted to the negative end of another magnet. This holds the magnets together.

ionic bonds
What is it called when molecules act like magnets with negative and positive ends?
Ionic.

A, ionic bonds A, ionic bonds
Are ionic bonds ductile?
ionic bonds are non metals combining together. non metals (not ductile). so there for ionic bonds ARE NOT DUCTILE
What are three types of chemical bonds found in living things?
Ionic bonds, covalent bonds, and probably hydrogen bonds
