Define ionic bond.

Back

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that occurs when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of charged ions.

Front

What is a cation?

Back

A cation is a positively charged ion that is formed when an atom loses one or more electrons.

Front

What is an anion?

Back

An anion is a negatively charged ion that is formed when an atom gains one or more electrons.
