What leads to the formation of an ionic bond with Hg22?

The formation of an ionic bond with Hg2^2+ (mercury(I) ion) typically occurs when it reacts with an anion to achieve a stable electron configuration. The mercury atom loses two electrons to form the Hg2^2+ ion, which then is attracted to a negatively charged ion to form an ionic bond.
