The electrons are shared between the atoms. An ionic bond occurs between a metal and a non-metal. The metal donates one or more electrons to the non-metal, causing the metal to have a positive charge. When the non-metal accepts the electrons, it becomes negatively charged, thus resulting in an attraction between the two charged ions, and forming a bond.

What happens to an electron when ionic bond forms?
Electrons are transferred from one element to another. when electrons are shared this is a covalent bond.
What happens to compounds when ionic bond form?
What happens to compounds when ionic bond form?Lattice energy is the energy released in the formation of an ionic compound. DEFINITION: The formation of an IONIC BOND is the result of the transfer of one or more electrons from a metal onto a nonmetal. Metals, with only a few electrons in the outer energy level, tend to lose electrons most readily.
What happens to two atoms once they exchange electrons?
They create a ionic bond.
Can a bond be a covalent and ionic bond?
No. A bond cannot be both covalent and ionic. A bond can be covalent, ionic or metallic. In covalent bonding electrons are shared, electrons are transferred in ionic bonding and electrons move about in a sea of electrons in metallic bonds.
A type of bond in which electrons are transferred?
An ionic bond results when there is a transfer of one or more electrons from atom to another atom.
What happens in an ionic bond?
One atom has lost electrons . And the other atom has gained electrons.
What happens to an electron when ionic bond forms?
Electrons are transferred from one element to another. when electrons are shared this is a covalent bond.
What happens with electrons in a molecular compound?
depends on whether you are taking about a covalent bond or an ionic bond
Which type of bond are electrons gained or lost?
ionic bond is formed by the complete transfer of electrons

What happens to two atoms once they exchange electrons?
They create a ionic bond.
What happens to calcium's electrons during ionic bond?
Since calcium is a metal, it gives up electrons.
Can a bond be a covalent and ionic bond?
No. A bond cannot be both covalent and ionic. A bond can be covalent, ionic or metallic. In covalent bonding electrons are shared, electrons are transferred in ionic bonding and electrons move about in a sea of electrons in metallic bonds.
A type of bond in which electrons are transferred?
An ionic bond results when there is a transfer of one or more electrons from atom to another atom.
What happens when a sodium atom and chlorine atom exchange electrons?
They form an ionic bond
What happens to atoms once a bond is made?
It depends on which type of bond. If it is a covalent bond they will share electrons, and if its an ionic bond the atom with the lesser amount of electrons will transfer them to the other atom.
A bond that occurs when an atom transfers an electron to another atom is called a?
Ionic bond
