ERISA Basics: Preemption (Update) 5 American Bar Association http://www.bna.com/bnabooks/ababna/annual/2000/paris.pdf state insurance laws that are not inconsistent with Title I of ERISA. See, e.g., Fuller v. Norton, 86 F.3d 1016 (10th Cir. 1996) (state regulation of non-fully insured MEWA not in conflict with Title I of ERISA).
Ionic bond, also called electrovalent bond , type of linkage formed from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a chemical compound. Such a bond forms when the valence (outermost) electrons of one atom are transferred permanently to another atom. The atom that loses the electrons becomes a positively charged ion (cation), while the one that gains them becomes a negatively charged ion (anion). A brief treatment of ionic bonds follows.
Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. It is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions. In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.
