Answer to Problem 1RQ

The positive and negatively charged ions held together by the electric forces between the two ions are known as ionic binding.

Explanation of Solution

During the molecule or crystal formation, one or more electrons from one atom are completely moved to another atom. The atom which loses the electron will become positive and the atom which accepts the electron will become negatively charged.

These positive and negatively charged ions held together by the electric forces between the two ions. This type of bonding is called ionic bonding.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the positive and negatively charged ions held together by the electric forces between the two ions are known as ionic binding.
