An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions. Ionic bonds are formed due to the attraction between an atom that has lost one or more electron (known as a cation) and an atom that has gained one or more electrons (known as an anion). Usually, the cation is a metal atom and the anion is a nonmetal atom.
It is important to recognize that pure ionic bonding - in which one atom "steals" an electron from another - cannot exist: all ionic compounds have some degree of covalent bonding, or electron sharing. Thus, the term "ionic bond" is given to a bond in which the ionic character is greater than the covalent character - that is, a bond in which a large electronegativity difference exists between the two atoms, causing the bond to be more polar (ionic) than other forms of covalent bonding where electrons are shared more equally. Bonds with partially ionic and partially covalent character are called polar covalent bonds. Nevertheless, ionic bonding is considered to be a form of noncovalent bonding.

Get the Ionic Bond mug.An all boys private high school located in the suburbs of Westchster County New York. Iona Prep consists of mostly kids from neighboring towns who have money and don't want to attend the atrocious local public schools. Because of this, Iona Prep boys have an arrogance about them and often walk around Westchester as if they are better than everyone. Iona has good academics, and even better sports with their lacrosse, football, baseball, track and field, and basketball teams all winning championships in recent years. Their archival is Fordham Prep and although the schools like to go back on forth on whose a better school, the one thing they agree on is that they are better and richer than everyone else in Westchester.
Person 1: Do you go to New Rochelle High School?
Person 2: No, Iona prep.
Person 1: *gets mad* "Why is public school not good enough for you?"
Person 2: No it's not, now shut up or i'll buy you
Person 2: No, Iona prep.
