Explanation:
Ionic bonds are special interatomic or intramolecular forces of attraction within a compound.
- They are formed between atom with large electronegativity differences.
- These atoms are usually metals and non- metals
- The transfer of electrons from the metals to the non-metals makes both specie becomes ions.
- This leads to the stability of the ions as they are isoelectronic with the noble gases.
- The electrostatic attraction between the ions that are oppositely charged leads to the formation of ionic bonds.
