Kathy has been wanting to know more about ionic bonding. She's going to ask her friend.

| Hey Chloe! I was wondering if you know anything about ionic bonding? | |
 | |  |
|
 |
| | |
| As a matter of fact I do. I just learned that ionic bonding occurs when a nonmetal and a metal exchange electrons | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| That's very interesting. Do you know what properties it has? | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| Yes of course, the properties ionic has are hard, bitter, and can form electrical conductivity. | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| Wow I'm learning so much. One last question I would love to ask, what sort of bonding formation does ionic perform? | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| Haha, I'm glad to help you! The formation process for ionic bonding completes the transfer of valence electrons between atoms. The metal loses electrons to become a positively charge cation. | |
