Type of Bond Ionic

How do you predict when it will form? Forms between a metal and a nonmetal atom with different charges Forms between a nonmetal and a nonmetal sharing electron pairs Forms between polar molecules where a hydrogen is bonded to a highly electronegative atom, such as a nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine.

What holds the bond together? The opposite electrostatic charges between the atoms holds them together. Positivenegative Held together by the balance of attractive and repulsive forces that occur when the atoms share electrons. Polar attraction and repulsion of atoms with different electronegative forces holds them together.
