An ionic bond is formed when an electron is essentially transferred from one atom of a pair to the other creating ions. Sodium chloride is an example of a compound with this type of bond. These compounds exist as a crystal lattice with all the ions stacked in definite patterns. The following picture is a representation of a cubic crystal of ...
How does the formation of an ionic bond differ from that of a covalent bond? Ionic bonds are created by electrochemical attraction between atoms of opposite charges, while molecular bonds (aka covalent bonds) are created by atoms sharing electrons in order to complete the rule of octet.
