| The sodium is bonded to the hydroxide part of the compound with an ionic bond. |
| A polar bond can be thought of as intermediate between a covalent bond and an ionic bond. |
| Another type of bond that occurs when electrons are transferred between atoms is called an ionic bond. |
| A market-approved drug substance was examined by means of NMR to decide whether a residual solvent was bound by a covalent bond or by an ionic bond. |
| He realized the ionic bond linking ammonium and nitrate was rather weak, and so he sought a readily available compound that could break it apart and then recombine it into something inert. |
| This electrostatic attraction, called an ionic bond, is much weaker than a covalent bond of shared electrons. |
