Question

what is meant by ionic or electrocovalent bond? Explain the formation of ionic bond with example?​

Answer 1

Ionic bond, also called an electrovalent bond, type of linkage formed from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a chemical compound.

Such a bond forms when the valence (outermost) electrons of one atom are transferred permanently to another atom.

For example:-In ionic crystalline solids of this kind, the electrostatic forces of attraction between opposite charges and repulsion between similar charges orient the ions in such a manner that every positive ion becomes surrounded by negative ions and vice versa.
