∙ 11y agoIonic bonds are formed when positively charged ions and negatively charged ions come together in a lattice. Ions of opposite charges are formed in the reaction of a metal and a non metal. Electrons are lost by the metal (it is oxidised) and gained by the non-metal (it is reduced)

What best describes how an ionic bond forms?
A metal and nonmetal react to form an ionic bond. This bond is the result of the nonmetal "desiring" electrons to fill out its valence, and a metal "desiring" to give up its electrons so that it can fill out its valence. This forms a tight bond, because the opposite charges bind them together.
Between which kinds of atoms is an ionic bond formed?
when a metal forms bond with a non metal the bond is an ionic bond.
Does cerium have a ionic or covalent bond?
Cerium generally forms ionic compounds.
What kind of bond forms when two ions of opposite charges attract each other?
These bonds are called ionic bonds. They are formed by electrostatic attractions.
What kind of element forms cation after ionic bonding?
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.
