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 Bangdale mug.A Bond Cave™ is a noetic mindset where an investor is scared out of securities and commodities markets and retreats into fixed-income, bond markets in the belief that the financial world will soon end. Because most fixed-income products take time to mature, those who retreat into a Bond Cave™ are said to be hibernating. A well-stocked Bond Cave™ includes circumstantial talk about accumulating tangible assets like gold, guns, ammo, and may include additional ambitions of establishing a personal fiefdom as a benevolent despot.
Did Mike get knocked out of the market? No, he is hibernating in his Bond Cave™, hiding under a table listening for scary noises and waiting for the sky to fall.

I recommend a conservative position in a Bond Cave™, trusting to fixed-income, wealth management products to weather this economic downturn.

Get the Bond Cave™ mug.In FPS games (specifically Counter Strike), a common saying and practice to give a player with low hp the AWP (Sniper Rifle) in order so that they can attempt to get a one shot kill without having to take a rifle battle which almost always would be dubious with such low hp. Named after a former semi-pro csgo player Bogdan.
Bogdan's Law can be easily nuanced in different situations and doesn't always apply to every low health situation. (Such as the low hp player taking the awp and swinging Catwalk on Dust II.)
