The issuer of the bond agrees to make periodic interest payments to the bondholder and repay the principal amount at the bond's maturity.

Sodium (Na) is most likely to form an ionic bond with chlorine (Cl) to create sodium chloride (NaCl), commonly known as table salt. Sodium has one extra electron that it wants to lose, while chlorine has one extra electron that it wants to gain, making them likely to form an ionic bond.
No, oxygen and nitrogen do not form an ionic bond. They are both nonmetals and tend to form covalent bonds where they share electrons rather than transfer them.
No, hydrogen and oxygen do not form an ionic bond. They typically form a covalent bond when they combine to make water (H2O). In this bond, they share electrons instead of transferring them.
Two monosaccharides that can form a bond are glucose and fructose, which can form a disaccharide called sucrose.
Oxygen and nitrogen typically form a covalent bond when they bond together. In this type of bond, the atoms share electrons to achieve a full outer electron shell and form a stable molecule.
