An Ionic bond is formed when one of the atoms can donate electrons to achieve the inert gas electron configuration and the other atom needs electrons to achieve the inert gas electron configuration.

Vol. 207, No. 1088, A Discussion on Bond Energies and Bond Lengths (Jun. 7, 1951), pp. 32-49 (18 pages) The theory of ionic-covalent resonance has been outlined. It has been emphasized that the ...

Chemical bonding is the force of attraction that holds atoms together to form molecules or compounds. There are two primary types of chemical bonds: ionic and covalent bonds. Both these bonds play a ...
