"Chemistry Essentials: Mastering Ionic Bonds Step by Step"
An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that forms between two atoms when one atom donates electrons to another. This typically occurs between metals and non-metals. The metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, while the non-metal gains those electrons to become a negatively charged anion. The electrostatic attraction between these oppositely charged ions holds them together, forming a strong bond. Ionic bonds are commonly found in compounds like sodium chloride (NaCl), magnesium oxide (MgO), and calcium fluoride (CaF₂). These compounds often have high melting and boiling points and can conduct electricity when dissolved in water or melted.
