английский
ionic bondthe form of bonding that occurs between two ions when the ions have opposite charges. Example: sodium cations bond with chloride anions to form common 
английский
ionic bondsWhen two oppositely charged atoms share at least one pair of electrons but the electrons spend more time near one of the atoms than the other. 
английский
ionic compounda compound that consists of ions. Example: NaCl. 
английский
ionisationa process that creates ions. 
английский
ioniseto break up neutral molecules into oppositely charged ions or to convert atoms into ions by the loss of electrons.
