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 it the second strongest bond?

No, the second strongest bond is the ionic bond, which is formed through the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions. The covalent bond is a strong bond formed by the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.


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.


How the strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions are called?

Is NH4NO3 an ionic or covalent compound?

NH4NO3 is an ionic compound. It is made up of ammonium ions (NH4+) and nitrate ions (NO3-), which are held together by electrostatic forces of attraction between the oppositely charged ions.


Why is there attraction between the two ions in this chemical bond?

An ionic bond forms when one or more electrons from one atom are transferred to one or more other atoms. This leaves the first atom positively charged (a cation), and the other negatively charged (the anion). The electrostatic attraction between these oppositely charged ions is the ionic bond.


What is the attraction called that forms ionic bonds?

The attraction is called an electrostatic attraction. It occurs between two oppositely charged ions, with one ion donating an electron (cation) and the other ion accepting an electron (anion) to form a stable ionic bond.


What are ionic compounds held together by?

Ionic compounds are held together by the electrostatic attraction between positively charged metal ions and negatively charged non-metal ions. This attraction results from the transfer of electrons from the metal to the non-metal, creating oppositely charged ions that are attracted to each other.
