Electronegativity Lost one (1) electron: Becomes positively charged by one; therefore +1. Gained one (1) electron: Becomes negatively charged by one; therefore -1. Na Cl
Ionic bonds The oppositely charged ions attract to each other. The electrostatic attractive force between these ions is called an ionic bond. Na Cl
Ionic bonds The oppositely charged ions attract to each other. The electrostatic attractive force between these ions is called an ionic bond. Bonding Ionic Covalent Lewis structures Polarity Electronegativity
Ionic bonds For ionic compounds the positive and negative ions are arranged in a lattice. For example, table salt (NaCl). Na Cl Na Cl Na Cl Na Na Cl Na Cl
