Electrons are transferred from the metal to the non-metal (the metal is said to be oxidised and the non-metal reduced). The force of attraction that holds the iosn together is electrostatic attraction the same force that makes your stand up one end when you comb it! In electrostatic attraction unlike charges attract (positive attracts negative) and the like charges repel.

What bond occurs due to an attraction between opposite charges?

Between oppositely charged ions the bond is called an ionic bond. Cations (positive ions) and Anions (negative ions) attract together like a magnet and create one of the strongest bonds in chemistry (ionic bond)

What attracts an ion to form a ionic bond?

Positively charged ions (for example, Na+) attract negatively charged ions (such as Cl-) because of the electrostatic force described by Coulomb's Law.


What bonds are formed by the attraction of oppositely charged ions?

Ionic bonds are formed by the attraction of oppositely charged ions. Positive ions (cations) are attracted to negative ions (anions), leading to the formation of a bond through electrostatic attraction. This results in a strong bond due to the complete transfer of electrons between the atoms.
