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.
The electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions forms an ionic bond.

In this case, Mg has a value of 1.3 and N has a value of 3.0, so it is an ionic bond. Ionic and covalent bonds are on a continuum. Some "ionic" compounds are in fact partly covalent because the positive cation (e.g. magnesium) polarizes (attracts the electrons of) the anion forming a stronger bond than if it was 100% ionic. A table of ELECTRONEGATIVITY can help one determine whether a bond is ionic or covalent. The bigger the difference in electronegativity the more ionic the bond.
yo mamma is ugly thats what it is
Sodium chloride has an ionic bond.
Ionic bond between H+ ions and I- ions in HI molecule.
Positive and negative ions are in ionic bond. They come from metals and non-metals
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)
The ionic bond is based on the electrostatic attraction of ions.
The ionic bond is based on the electrostatic attraction of ions.
The electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions forms an 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.
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.
