Question

write the factors favorable for the formation of ionic bond and explain any two?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The favourable conditions for forming stable ionic bond are : (i) Ionization energy of element forming cation. (ii) More negative electron gain enthalpy of element forming anion.

Explanation:

1. Ionization energy:

It is defined as the amount of energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from an isolated gaseous atom of an element. The lesser the ionization energy, the greater is the ease of the formation of a cation.

2. Electron affinity:

It is defined as the amount of energy released when an electron is added to an isolated gaseous atom of an element. The higher the energy released during this process, the easier will be the formation of an anion.
