Question

ionic compound are formed between a_____and _____​

Answer 1

Answer:An ionic bond is formed through the transfer of one or more valence electrons, typically from a metal to a non-metal, which produces a cation and an anion that are bound together by an attractive electrostatic force.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Always the reaction between a metal and a non metal forms an Ionic compound.

Formation of Ionic compounds

• When a metal loses its electron it becomes a cation.

$M --- > M^++e^-$

• When a non -metal gains an electron it forms anion.

$X+e^- --- > X^-$

• Then these two ions namely cation and the anion combine to form an Ionic compound.

$M^++X^- --- > MX$

• So MX is an ionic compound formed between a metal and a non metal.
