Understand Ionic Bond. Click on the link to Watch the VIDEO explanation: Watch Video
An ionic bond is an electrical attraction between two oppositely charged atoms or group of atoms. Normally atoms are neutral and have no charge. However in order to gain stability they sacrifice their neutrality by losing one or electrons from their outer most shell. Thus becoming Positive ion, cation. Or gaining one or more electron to become negative ion, anion. Elements that are described as metallic tend to lose electron and non metallic elements tend to gain electron. Once this is happened then the resulting charged atoms will attract each other. That electrical attraction is referred to as ionic bond.
