(a) K and S, (b) Ca and O (c) Al and N
Write three favourable factors for the formation of ionic bond ?
Three favourable factors for the formation of ionic bond are:
(i) Low ionisation enthalpy of the metal atom.
(ii) High electron gain enthalpy of the non- metal atom.
(iii) High lattice enthalpy of the compound formed.
