Question:
Write the favourable factors for the formation of ionic bond.
Answer:
An Ionic bond is a type of chemical bond which involves the transfer of one or more electrons from one atom to another atom. As a result, anions and cations are formed which subsequently form a molecule. For example
Na + Cl → Na+ + Cl− → NaCl
The favourable factors influence in ionic bond formation are as follows:
(i) Low ionization enthalpy of metal atom.
(ii) The two ion must be different & should possess opposite charge
(iii) High electron gain enthalpy (Δeg H) of a non-metal atom.
(iv) High lattice energy of the compound formed.
