1. An ionic bond forms between a and a .
2. In an ionic bond, electrons are from one atom to another.
3. The electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions is called a(n) bond.
1. Explain why ionic compounds are typically soluble in water.
2. Describe the role of electronegativity in the formation of an ionic bond.
Observe the diagram below illustrating the formation of an ionic bond:
Based on the diagram, identify the element that loses electrons and the element that gains electrons. What type of ions are formed by each element?
