An ionic bond occurs between what particles? t

Answer 1

The ionic bond is that made within ions, i.e. a positive ion (cation) and a negative one (anion).

When an atom loses one (or more) electron, it becomes a cation, #A^{+}#. Another atom, can get an electron and becomes an anion, #B^{-}#.

These ions are then kept within the boundaries of their ionic bond because the different sign charges between them have an atraction force.

#A rightarrow A^{+} + e^{-}# #B + e^{-} rightarrow B^{-}#

#A^{+} + B^{-} rightarrow AB# (ionic bond).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
