What is Electrovalent Bond? This type of bond is also referred to as an ionic bond. In the formation of an electrovalent bond between two atoms, the transference of electrons from one atom having a tendency to lose electrons to another dissimilar atom having a tendency to gain electrons takes place. As a result of this, the two atoms develop electrical charges and are referred to as ions. The atom which loses one or more electrons becomes a positively charged ion is called a cation while the atom which gains one or more electrons becomes a negatively charged ion and … Continue reading Electrovalent Bond
