27 Examples of Ionic Bonding
The ions are particles formed when a jump electron from an atom to another cagándolo or electrically downloading. When an ion is electrically charged in a positive way it is known as a cation , if it is charged in a negative way it is called an anion.
These ions can attract each other if they are oppositely charged. It is there when the ionic bond occurs.
What is the ionic bond?
It is the union of ions that are charged with opposite signs . An anion and a cation are attracted by nature, when the union is carried out the ionic bond is carried out.
It is common for this bond to be between metallic and non-metallic elements, since for this union to occur it is necessary that one of the two elements has greater electronegativity, generating a difference of 1.7 with respect to the other. They give electrons to nonmetallic ones.
The result of this bond is the formation of a chemical compound called an ionic compound.
What are ionic bonds like?
- They are soluble in water
- Its boiling and melting points are quite high.
- They conduct electricity very well, except in the solid state.
