ionically bound; ionic bonding. Compare with covalent bond. An attraction between ions of opposite charge. Potassium bromide consists of potassium ions (K+) ionically bound to bromide ions (Br-). Unlike covalent bonds, ionic bond formation involves transfer of electrons, and ionic bonding is not directional.
type of linkage formed from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a chemical compound. Such a bond forms when the valence ... [16 related articles]
Atoms linked together by the attraction of unlike charges.
An attraction between ions of opposite charge in an ionic compound. Such bonds, which result from the transfer of electrons, are not formed between particular ions but exist between an ion and all of the oppositely charged ions in its immediate vicinity. Very few materials have bonds that at truly...
An Ionic Bond is an electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions. In a giant ionic crystalline lattice, the oppositely charged ions are packed together in a highly regular way. Ionic Bonding exists in every direction, three-dimensionally throughout the entire crystalline structure. Ionic bonding is not uni-directional. Any part...
a chemical bond in which electrons are transferred from one atom to another so that one bears a positive and the other a negative charge, the attraction between these opposite charges forming the bond.
The combination of an atom that has a strong tendency to lose electrons with an atom that has a strong tendency to gain electrons, such that the former transfers one or more electrons to the latter and each achieves chemical stability under the octet rule. The atom that loses electrons acquires a positive electric charge and the atom that gains el...

A chemical bond formed by electrostatic attraction betWeen oppositely charged ions.
An bond formed by the electro-magnetic attraction between ions of opposite charge.

[n] - a chemical bond in which one atom loses an electron to form a positive ion and the other atom gains to electron to form a negative ion
This describes the electrostatic attraction of two oppositelycharged ions in a crystalline lattice. When two oppositely charged atoms share at leastone pair of electrons but the electrons spend more time near one of the atoms thanthe other.The potential energy due to the attraction between sodium chloride (Na+-Cl -) ions is gi...
Bond produced when atoms of one element donate electrons to atoms of another element, forming positively and negatively charged ions respectively. The attraction between the oppositely charged ions constitutes the bond. Sodium chloride (Na+Cl-) is...
A chemical bond in which atoms of opposite charge are held together by electrostatic attraction.
atoms linked together by the attraction of unlike charges.
the electrostatic bond between two ions formed through the transfer of one or more electrons. Also called
