Ionic bonding is an electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged [[Molecules|molecules]]. In ionic bonding the [[Metal ion|metal ion]] will donate [[Electron|electrons]] to become a cation, positively charged, whilst the non metal will accept electrons to become an anion, negatively charged. | Ionic bonding is an [[Electrostatic_force|electrostatic]] attraction between oppositely charged [[Molecules|molecules]].
