Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which type of bond is primarily formed in ionic compounds?
  • Step 1: Understand that ionic compounds are made of ions, which are charged particles.
  • Step 2: Recognize that there are two types of ions: positively charged ions (cations) and negatively charged ions (anions).
  • Step 3: Know that an ionic bond is formed when a cation and an anion attract each other due to their opposite charges.
  • Step 4: Conclude that the type of bond primarily formed in ionic compounds is called an ionic bond.
