Chapter 6, Problem 9P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The ionic bond should be detected from the given species.

Concept introduction:

Ionic compounds are formed when two oppositely charged anion and cation are attracted together by electrostatic attraction. This type of interaction between two opposite ion occurs is known as ion-dipole interaction. The bond is formed by exchange of electron between a metal (electropositive) and a non metal (electronegative) species. The metal loses an electron to form cation and the nonmetal gains an electron to form the anion. The bond formed through attraction between the cation and anion is called as ionic bond.

If electronegativity difference between the two atoms in a bond is greater than 1.7, the bond will be ionic.
If electronegativity difference is less than 1.7, the bond will be covalent.

Also, to be ionic bond, the bond should be formed between a metal and a nonmetal whereas, the two nonmetal atoms form covalent bond.
