Q. Electrovalent bond-formation depends on :

 2667  210 NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2020Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure Report Error

Solution:

The electrovalent bond is favoured with a metal having low ionization energy and non-metal with high electron affinity.

The amount of energy released when one mole of an ionic compound is formed is called lattice energy. Higher the lattice energy more the stability of the ionic compound.
