What is meant by ionic bonding​

Answer 1

Linkage formed from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a chemical compound. Such a bond forms when the valence (outermost) electrons of one atom are transferred permanently to another atom. ... Sodium chloride exhibits ionic bonding.
