When an ionic bond forms, electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of positively charged cations and negatively charged anions. The attraction between these opposite charges holds the ions together in a stable structure.

What kind of chemical bond is formed when electrons are gained and lost from atoms?
Ionic bond.
What characteristic is an ionic bond?
Electrons are lost from one atom and gained by another
How many electrons are gained or lost when sulfur forms an ionic bond?
Sulfur typically gains 2 electrons to form an ionic bond, which allows it to achieve a stable electron configuration like a noble gas.
What is a type of chemical bond where atoms gain or lose electrons?
Ionic bonds are formed when electrons are gained or lost. This is the complete transfer of electrons between the atoms. For e.g sodium(Na) releases its one electron which is transfered to the deserving chlorine atom(Cl). So, chlorine becomes negatively charged and the sodium atom becomes a positive ion(Na+). This is the case when electrons are completely transfered from sodium to chlorine and ionic bond is formed i.e NaCl. Moreover, when electrons are shared between atoms covalent bonds may form.
What kind of bond forms when two ions of opposite charges attract each other?
These bonds are called ionic bonds. They are formed by electrostatic attractions.
What type of chemical bond forms when atoms that have gained or lost electrons are held together by magnetic attraction?
an ionic bond forms
Which type of bond are electrons gained or lost?
ionic bond is formed by the complete transfer of electrons
What type of bond is formed when electrons are gained and lost?
Ionic bonds are formed between positively charged atoms (lost electrons) and negatively charged atoms (gained electrons).
What do you call a bond that forms when electrons are transferred from one atom to another?
ionic bond
What kind of chemical bond is formed when electrons are gained and lost from atoms?
Ionic bond.
What is the bond that forms between atoms when they share electrons?
Ionic Bond
What is the bond that forms when electrons from one atom to another?
ionic bond
What forms when atoms gain electrons Lose electrons?
An ionic bond.
What happens in an ionic bond?
One atom has lost electrons . And the other atom has gained electrons.
What is a bond between atoms in which electrons are lost or gained?
Ionic bond is formed between the ions.
Which type of bond forms when two or more atoms share electrons?
The bond is covalent. If the bond is made by transferring electrons then it is an ionic bond, but if they are sharing the it is covalent.
What characteristic is an ionic bond?
Electrons are lost from one atom and gained by another
