Q. Favourable conditions for the formation of electrovalent bond is that the cation and anion must have,respectively

UPSEEUPSEE 2010Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure

Solution:

Lower the ionisation potential, more readily the cation will be formed. Higher the electron affinity, higher is the tendency to gain electron. Thus, low ionisation potential and high electron affinity are the favourable conditions for the formation of electrovalent bond.
