An ionic bond happens when one element (we will call this one atom A) that is significantly more electronegative than another pulls one of the electrons away from another atom (we will call this one atom B) that is less electronegative. Atom A has now taken on a more negative charge because it has added an electron to its valence shell and Atom B has now taken on a more positive charge because it has given up one of its valence electrons.
The Ionic bond then forms because of this difference of charges between atoms A and B. A good example of this is Salt. Chlorine is a very electronegative element and sodium has very little electronegativity. These atoms stay combined because of their difference of charges and when mixed in water they dissociate easily but will still reform this bonds when the water is no longer there.
What else can I help you with?
When nitrogen and oxygen combine do they make a ionic or covalent bond?
The bond is covalent.
What kind of bond would metal and nonmetal typically make?
An ionic bond
What conclusions can we make about the size of cations neutral atoms and anions?
Cations are smaller then neutral atoms and anions are larger.
What type of bond is copper?
Copper typically forms metallic bonds, where electrons are shared among all atoms in the structure, creating a sea of delocalized electrons that hold the atoms together. This gives copper its characteristic conductivity and malleability.
How do the atoms in ionic compounds form stable electron arrangements?
The positive and negative charged atoms hold it together and make it stable.
The sharing of valence electrons between atoms indicates an ionic bond rue or false?
False. Sharing valence electrons to make a bond creates a covalent bond, not an ionic bond.
What are pairs of atoms that will make an ionic bond?
Pairs of atoms that will form an ionic bond typically involve atoms from Group 1 (such as sodium) and Group 17 (such as chlorine) of the periodic table. For example, sodium chloride (NaCl) is formed by the ionic bond between sodium and chlorine atoms.
When sodium atoms (Na) and chlorine atoms (Cl) join to make sodium chloride or table salt they form an ionic bond. Using this information which pair of elements is most likely to form an ionic bond?
The pair of elements that is most likely to form an ionic bond are potassium (K) and fluorine (F). This is because potassium is a metal (it can lose electrons) and fluorine is a nonmetal (it can gain electrons), making them likely to transfer electrons and form an ionic bond.
How do you make this sentence correct A covalent bond is the force of attraction between the opposite charges of the ions in an ionic compound?
To correct the sentence, you can say: "A covalent bond is the sharing of electrons between atoms in a molecule, whereas the force of attraction between oppositely charged ions in an ionic compound is called an ionic bond."
What is a type of chemical bond where atoms gain or lose electrons?
Ionic bonds are formed when electrons are gained or lost. This is the complete transfer of electrons between the atoms. For e.g sodium(Na) releases its one electron which is transfered to the deserving chlorine atom(Cl). So, chlorine becomes negatively charged and the sodium atom becomes a positive ion(Na+). This is the case when electrons are completely transfered from sodium to chlorine and ionic bond is formed i.e NaCl. Moreover, when electrons are shared between atoms covalent bonds may form.
What bond does calsium and chorline make?
Ionic bond
How atoms combine to make a bond?
Atoms combine together to form molecules. In molecules the consitutent atoms are held together by attractive forces. This attractive force which binds the atoms in a molecules is called as bond.
Does mendelevium make an ionic or covalent bond?
Mendelevium can make ionic bonds.
Would K and Br form an ionic bond?
Yes. Potassium is a metal and Bromine is a nonmetal, therefore they would make an ionic bond, as there is a complete transfer of electrons between the atoms.
Does trisodium phosphate have a covalent or ionic bond?
Trisodium phosphate (TSP) has ionic bonds. In TSP, three sodium atoms donate electrons to a phosphate group, forming positively charged sodium ions and a negatively charged phosphate ion, which are attracted to each other by electrostatic forces to form an ionic bond.
What is involved in an covalent bond?
there are two types of bonds, ionic and covalent. In an ionic bond, which is a compound, one of the atoms donates one or more electron(s) to another atom to make both of their valence shells full. In a covalent bond, when two or more atoms pair up, they share (an) electron(s) to make their valence shells full.Refrenced: My notes
How does an ionic bond forms?
Ionic bonds are formed when atoms lose or gain electrons in order to have a full outer shell of electrons to make them stable.One atom pulls an electron from another atom.
