Practice Ionic Bond in Chemistry

Use these practice problems to test your method after reviewing the concept explanation and worked examples.

Quick Recap

A chemical bond formed by the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, created when one atom transfers one or more electrons to another atom.

One atom gives electrons away; another takes them. Opposites attract.

Example 1

easy
