An Ionic bond is formed when one of the atoms can donate electrons to achieve the inert gas electron configuration and the other atom needs electrons to achieve the inert gas electron configuration.

The chemical bond formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to another is called ionic bond. It is also known as electrovalent bond. And the compounds containing ionic bonds are called ionic ...

While there is an uneven sharing of bonding electrons in polar covalent bonds, an even larger difference in electronegativity gives rise to ionic bonds. Ionic bonds are usually (but not always) formed ...
