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.
A covalent bond is formed between two non-metals that have similar electronegativities. Neither atom is strong enough to attract electrons from the other. For stabilization, they share their electrons from outer molecular orbit with others. An ionic bond is formed between a metal and a non-metal. Non-metals(-ve ion) are stronger than the metal(+ve ion) and can get electrons very easily from the metal. These two opposite ions attract each other and form the ionic bond.
