4. IONIC BONDING
Chemical bond between two oppositely charged ions formed when
one atom transfers electrons to another atom
Between metal and non-metal
Cations – ions formed by donating electron
Anions - ions formed by gaining electron
e.g., NaCl, MgCl, KCl etc.

6. Sodium Chloride Formation
Before chemical reaction After chemical reaction
No. of electrons in the
sodium atom
11 10
Electronic configuration 2, 8, 1 2, 8
No. of electrons in the
valence shell
1 8
Charge 0 +1
For sodium atom
7. Before chemical reaction After chemical reaction
No. of electrons in the
chlorine atom
17 18
Electronic configuration 2, 8, 7 2, 8, 8
No. of electrons in the
valence shell
7 8
Charge 0 -1
For chlorine atom
8. Sodium chloride is formed
by the electron transfer between sodium and chlorine atoms
To attain octet configuration sodium atom loses one electron and become cation
having +1 charge.
Chlorine atom gains one electron to attain stability and become anion with a
charge -1.
Electrostatic force of attraction between these oppositely charged ions are called
ionic bond.
