The answer is compound. This a substance shaped when chemical elements (two or more) are chemically joined together. The kind of bonds holding elements in a compound can differ: there are two common kinds namely covalent bonds and ionic bonds.

An ionic bond is a bond that forms between

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer: An ionic bond is a bond that forms between ions with opposite charges.

Explanation:

A chemical bond formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to another is called an ionic bond.

For example, sodium has electronic distribution as 2, 8, 1 and chlorine has electronic distribution as 2, 8, 7.

In order to attain stability, sodium needs to lose 1 electron and chlorine needs to gain one electron. Therefore, sodium will transfer its one valence electron (forming $Na^{+}$ ion) to chlorine atom (forming $Cl^{-}$ ion) which leads to the formation of NaCl compound.

Thus, we can conclude that an ionic bond is a bond that forms between ions with opposite charges.
