This type of bonding is called as ionic bonding.

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that involves a metal and a nonmetal ion (or polyatomic ions such as ammonium) through electrostatic attraction. In short, it is a bond formed by the attraction between two oppositely charged ions.

The metal donates one or more electrons, forming a positively charged ion or cation with a stable electron configuration. These electrons then enter the non metal, causing it to form a negatively charged ion or anion which also has a stable electron configuration. The electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions causes them to come together and form a bond.

What is the bond when two atoms share an electron unevenly and one of the atoms has a slight negative charge?

The bond is called a polar covalent bond. In this type of bond, the electrons are not shared equally between the atoms, leading to one atom having a partial negative charge and the other a partial positive charge.

What is the relationship between the covalent bond and the charge of the atoms involved?

In a covalent bond, atoms share electrons to achieve stability. The charge of the atoms involved determines how strongly they attract or repel each other in forming the bond.


What is a bond formed by the equal sharing of electrons between two atoms?

A bond formed by the equal sharing of electrons between two atoms is called a covalent bond. In this type of bond, the atoms share electrons to achieve a more stable electron configuration. This sharing of electrons creates a strong bond between the atoms.


What is electrostatic attraction between ions of opposite charge is called?

Ionic bonding as in NaCl (as opposed to covalent bonding as in CH4).


A chemical bond with unequal electrons?

A chemical bond with unequal electrons is polar covalent bond. In this type of bond, electrons are shared unevenly between atoms, resulting in a partial positive and partial negative charge on the atoms involved. The electronegativity difference between the atoms causes this unequal sharing of electrons.


What characterizes the bond between two identical atoms?

The Electrons Involved In the Bond Are Shared equally Between the Atoms.
