Ionic bonding
• Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points.
• Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s)
between atoms.
• It is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged
ions.
• In ionic bonds, the metal lo ses electrons to become a positively
charged cation, whereas the non-metal accepts those electrons to
become a negatively charged anion.
• Ionic bonds form when one atom gives up one or more electrons to
another atom.
• These bonds can form between a pair of atoms or between
molecules and are the type of bond found in salts.
