Question

Ionic bonds occur between?

Answer 1

Answer:

Ionic bonds usually occur between metal and nonmetal ions. For example, sodium (Na), a metal, and chloride (Cl), a nonmetal, form an ionic bond to make NaCl. In a covalent bond, the atoms bond by sharing electrons. Covalent bonds usually occur between nonmetals.

An ionic bond is held together by the electrostatic attraction between ions that are near one another. Electrostatic attraction is the attraction between atoms that have opposite charge and holds the atoms together in ionic bonds.
