Section 5: covalent and ionic bonding bond is formed by the attraction of ions with opposite charges. covalent bond is what? ionic bond is what? bond is formed when two atoms share an electron. covalent bond is what? ionic bond is what?

Explanation:

Ionic bonds are defined as the bonds which are formed by the complete transfer of electrons from cation (positively charged ions) to anion (negatively charged ions).

This bond is formed by the attraction of oppositely charged species. They are usually formed between a metal and a non-metal.

For Example: NaCl, etc...

Covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms.

They are usually formed between two non-metals.

For Example: HCl, etc.

answer: -

reaction:

na + cl ⇌ nacl

balanced chemical equation:

na + 2cl ⇌ nacl2

sodium + clorine goes to form sodium chloride (table salt).

the product is nacl2.

and the reactants are na and cl.

(note: if you don’t know what ⇌ means, read below: -

⇌(double head arrow) means reversible reaction).
