Do Oppositely Charged Ions Attract In An Ionic Bond?

Do Oppositely Charged Ions Attract In An Ionic Bond? Do oppositely charged ions attract in an ionic bond? Ionic bonding is the attraction between positively- and negatively-charged ions. These oppositely charged ions attract each other to form ionic networks (or lattices). Electrostatics explains why this happens: opposite charges attract and like charges repel. When oppositely
