Ionic bonding is a type of chemical bonding that involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, or between two atoms with sharply...

ionic and metallic bonds, and "weak bonds" or "secondary bonds" such as dipole–dipole interactions, the London dispersion force, and hydrogen bonding...

covalent bonding is much more common than ionic bonding. Covalent bonding also includes many kinds of interactions, including σ-bonding, π-bonding, metal-to-metal...

bonds — ionic, covalent, and metallic — distinguished by the degree of charge separation between participating atoms. The characteristics of the bond formed...

bonded compounds. In ionic compounds, the electronegativity of the two atoms bonding together has a major effect on their bond energy. The extent of...

The resulting compound is called an ionic compound, and is said to be held together by ionic bonding. In ionic compounds there arise characteristic distances...

availability of an electron to bond to another atom. The chemical bond can be a covalent bond, an ionic bond, a hydrogen bond or just because of Van der Waals...

Kazimierz Fajans in 1923, are used to predict whether a chemical bond will be covalent or ionic, and depend on the charge on the cation and the relative sizes...

between the charge distribution of these bodies, and in particular, the ionic bond resulting from the long-ranged Coulomb attraction between the net negative...

of 1.7 corresponds to 50% ionic character, so that a greater difference corresponds to a bond which is predominantly ionic. As a quantum-mechanical description...
