Name the following
A bond is formed by transfer of electron
Open in App
Solution
A bond is formed:
- Either by gaining or by losing of electrons:
- By sharing of electron
- By donating a pair of electron
Answer
When an atom loses an electron it becomes positively charged and it is called a cation. When an electron gains an electron it becomes negatively charged and it is called an anion.
There is an electrostatic force of attraction between a cation and anion, thereby forming a particular type of bond which is known as the Ionic bond.
