Exploring Ionic And Covalent Bonds Gizmo - An ionic compound is stable because of the electrostatic attraction between its positive and negative ions. . Polyatomic ions can bond with monatomic ions or with other polyatomic ions to form compounds. Select a metal and a nonmetal atom, and transfer electrons from one to the other. For instance, positively charged sodium ions and negatively charged chloride ions bond covalent bonds and other interactions. Ionic bonds (answer key) start studying ionic bonds: This kind of bond generally involves nonmetals.
