Ionic Bond
Ionic Bond
A chemical bond formed through the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions. This occurs when one or more valence electrons are transferred from one atom to another.
Positive Charge
Positive Charge
Atoms acquire a positive charge when they lose electrons. This is because they then have more protons (positive charges) than electrons (negative charges).
Electropositive Atoms
Electropositive Atoms
Atoms that tend to give up electrons are referred to as electropositive. They do this to achieve a more stable electron configuration.

Chemical Bonding
- Ionic bonds are formed by the transfer of valence electrons between atoms.
- Atoms that lose electrons acquire a positive charge (become cations).
- Atoms that readily give up electrons are called metals.
- Chlorine atoms have seven valence electrons.
Electron Transfer
- Nonmetals tend to accept electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration (typically eight electrons in their outermost shell, satisfying the octet rule).
