ionic bond
This term describes a specific type of chemical interaction characterized by the total transfer of electrons, creating a strong electrostatic attraction. It is primarily used in chemistry and materials science to explain the structure of salts and ceramics.
In a pedagogical context, it is frequently contrasted with the covalent bond, where electrons are shared rather than transferred. While covalent bonds are often associated with organic molecules, ionic bonds are the hallmark of inorganic compounds formed between a metal and a non-metal.
Meanings
Examples
An ionic bond typically forms between a metal and a nonmetal.
Do we need to draw the electron transfer for this ionic bond?
The strength of an ionic bond depends on the charges of the ions involved.
I wonder if this compound is held together by an ionic bond or a covalent one.
Most substances with an ionic bond have very high melting points.
The teacher explained how an ionic bond creates a crystal lattice structure.
Water can easily break an ionic bond by dissolving the salt.
Wait, is the attraction in an ionic bond purely electrostatic?
