Question

The attractive force between oppositely charged ions that holds ions together is called a _______ bond.

Answer 1

• The force that acts between two or more atoms to hold them together as a stable molecule is called a chemical bond. All the elements have different valence shell electronic configurations. So how they combine to form compounds also differs.
• Hence, there are different types of chemical bonds. They are ionic bond, covalent bond, coordinate covalent bond and metallic bond.

Therefore, the attractive force between oppositely charged ions that holds ions together is called a chemical bond.
