Generally, it is formed between metals and non-metals. We can say that it is the electrostatic force of attraction which holds the oppositely charged ions together.<br \/>\nThe compounds which is formed by ionic or electrovalent bond is known as electrovalent compounds.

Due to this reason alkali metals have more tendency to form an ionic bond.<br \/>\nFor example, in formation of Na<sup>+<\/sup> ion I.E = 496 kJ\/mole<br \/>\nWhile in case of magnesium, it is 743 kJ\/mole. That\u2019s why the formation of positive ion for sodium is easier than that of magnesium.<br \/>\nTherefore, we can conclude that lower the ionization enthalpy, greater the chances of ionic bond formation.<br \/>\n(ii) Electron gain enthalpy (Electron affinities): It is defined as the energy released when an isolated gaseous atom takes up an electron to form anion. Greater the negative electron gain enthalpy, easier will be the formation of anion. Consequently, the probability of formation of ionic bond increases.<br \/>\nFor example. Halogens possess high electron affinity. So, the formation of anion is very common in halogens.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/infinitylearn.com\/surge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/32653687681_1afd4dbe5b_o.png\" alt=\"chemical-bonding-and-molecular-structure-cbse-notes-for-class-11-chemistry-4\" width=\"326\" height=\"70\" \/><br \/>\n(iii) Lattice energy or enthalpy: It is defined as the amount of energy required to separate 1 mole of ionic compound into separate oppositely charged ions.<br \/>\n<strong>Lattice energy of an ionic compound depends upon following factors:<\/strong><br \/>\n(i) Size of the ions: Smaller the size, greater will be the lattice energy.<br \/>\n(ii) Charge on the ions: Greater the magnitude of charge, greater the interionic attraction and hence higher the lattice energy.<br \/>\n<strong>\u2022 General Characteristics of ionic Compounds<\/strong><br \/>\n(i) Physical\u2019State: They generally exist as crystalline solids, known as crystal lattice.

Positions of nuclei, bonding and nonbonding pairs of electrons are taken as the canonical structure of the hybrid which describes the molecule accurately. For 0<sub>3<\/sub>, the two structures shown above are canonical structures and the III structure represents the structure of 0<sub>3<\/sub> more accurately.
