Question

Explain the formation of ionic bond with a sutable example.

Answer 1

Ionic bond is formed due to transfer of electron(s) from metal to non-metal. It consists of cation(+) and an anion(-).

In $NaCl$ , one electron from $Na$ is transferred to '$Cl$' and form $NaCl$. They have $N{a}^{+}$ and $C{l}^{-}$ now.
