A covalent bond is the result of atoms sharing electrons. What is described in the question is much more like an ionic bond where an electron/or electrons move from atom-to-atom.

Is LiF held together by electrostatic attraction?
Yes. The electrostatic attraction is between the oppositely charged ions is the ionic bond.
How are ionic bonds held together?
Electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.
An electrostatic attraction between ions is also called an bond?
The electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions forms an ionic bond.
What is a ionic bond made of?
An ionic bond is an electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.
What holds crystals of ionic compounds together?
Electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.
Is LiF held together by electrostatic attraction?
Yes. The electrostatic attraction is between the oppositely charged ions is the ionic bond.
What type of bonds electrostatic attraction between opposite charged atoms?
The electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged atoms (ions) is termed an ionic bond
What is the force between oppositely charged sub atomic particles?
Electrostatic force of attraction
How are ionic bonds held together?
Electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.
An electrostatic attraction between ions is also called an bond?
The electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions forms an ionic bond.
The atoms in salt are held together by?
Electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions.
What is a ionic bond made of?
An ionic bond is an electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.
What holds crystals of ionic compounds together?
Electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.
What ionic bonds are composed of?
An ionic bond is composed of an electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.
What are ionic bonds and how are they formed?
An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions.Ionic bonds are formed between a cation, which is usually a metal, and an anion, which is usually a nonmetal. Pure ionic bonding cannot exist: all ionic compounds have some degree of covalent bonding.
How the strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions are called?
The chemical bond formed is ionic.
What is the differnece between an ionic compound and a covolant compound?
In an ionic compound, atoms transfer electrons from one to the other, creating oppositely charged ions. The ionic bond is an electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions. Ionic compounds tend to form between metals and nonmetals. In covalent compounds, atoms share electrons. Most covalent compounds form between nonmetals.
