Ionic Bond Properties and formations

Definition of Ionic Bond 

The ionic bond is formed due to the electrostatic attraction between stable ions formed by the complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another. Let us consider the sodium atom whose electronic configuration is 1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s1. As described above during the formation of a bond the atoms are first converted into ions, which generally have noble gas configurations. The sodium atom does so by losing its one outer most electron, i.e. 3s1 and thus it is converted into sodium cation of configuration 1s2, 2s2 2p6.
