Question

Factor favoring the formation of iconic compounds

Answer 1

1. Bond should be formed between a metal and non metal (Not 100% but mostly)

2.One element shove be electro negative and should have electro positive

*3. Most imp thing is ' the electronegativity between 2 elements should be above 1.7'

Ex:- NaCl

electronegitivity of 1.Na ➡ 0.9

2.Cl ➡3.0

then difference is 3.0-0.9=2.1

2.1>1.7 so, NaCl is Ionic bond
