In a banked turn at constant altitude, the load factor is equal to 1/cosÎ¸. We can see that the load factor in straight and level flight is 1, since cos(0) = 1, and to generate sufficient lift to maintain constant altitude, the load factor must approach infinity as the bank angle approaches 90Â° and cosÎ¸ approaches zero.
What causes the attraction between ions forming an ionic bond? The attraction between ions is of opposites. Each electron is attracted to an electron of an opposite charge causing a transfer of electrons creating an ionic bond. (Wiley, 2016). d. Describe the strength of ionic bonds.
The positively charged ion is called cation, and the negatively charged ion is called anion. An ionic bond between a cation A+ and an anion B- is commonly described by writing the cation and anion together, viz., A+B-. An ionic (or electrovalent) bond is formed between two ions of opposite charges. During the formation of an ionic bond, one of the reacting elements should form a positively charged ion (cation), and the other should give a negatively charged ion (anion). This is possible only if, one of the atoms loses one or more electrons and the other gains one or more electrons.
