Ionic bond, Chemical bonding animation; Sodium chloride

Ionic bonding is a type of chemical bonding that involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions
Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. It is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions. In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.
Examples of Ionic Bonds
NaCl: sodium chloride.
NaBr: sodium bromide.
NaF: sodium fluoride.
NaI: sodium iodide.
KF: potassium fluoride.
KCl: potassium chloride.
KI: potassium iodide.
KBr: potassium bromide.
