Question

Why is salt an ionic bond? Why is salt an ionic bond?

Answer 1

: If you mean table salt i.e. sodium chloride. It is held together by ionic bonds between sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl-) ions. The sodium ions have a positive charge and the chlorine ions have a negative charge. Since opposite charges attract, they form ionic bonds. Ionic bonds are nothing more than the attraction between positive and negative ions.
