Answer:
Like charges repel
and opposite charges attract each other
lonic bonds are formed when ions attract
each other
Step-by-step explanation:
An electrical charge can be either positive or negative. Two positive charged atom can never combine as they experience strong nuclear repulsive force Like wise two negatively charged atom can never combine as they repel each others negative electrostatic field.
An ionic bond is formed between two atoms in which one is electron deficient and other has surplus electron.
The atom with surplus electron is negatively charged and the atom with deficient electron is positively charged and thus these two oppositively charged atoms attract each other
