Question

The electrovalent linkage is present in_______.

Answer 1

Electrovalent linkage

• "The linkage formed, as a result of the electrostatic attraction between the positive and negative ions, was termed electrovalent linkage.''
• The atom that loses the electrons becomes a positively charged ion which is named a cation, while the one that gains them becomes a negatively charged ion which is named an anion.
• The electrovalent linkage is present in ionic compounds.
• Sodium chloride$\left(\mathrm{NaCl}\right)$ is an ionic compound that exhibits electrovalent linkage.

Hence, the electrovalent linkage is present in ionic compounds.
