Ionic Bonding
Ionic bonding is a fundamental concept in chemistry that arises from the electrostatic attraction between positively charged ions, typically metals, and negatively charged ions, usually nonmetals. This type of chemical bond involves the transfer of electrons, leading to the formation of a stable and electrically neutral compound. The resulting ionic compounds exhibit distinct properties, such as high melting and boiling points, conductivity in molten or dissolved state, and crystalline structures. Understanding ionic bonding is crucial for comprehending the behavior of a wide range of substances, from common table salt to various metal oxides and salts.
