The attraction between oppositely charged ions
Real World Example
Imagine trying to keep two pieces of opposite magnets together; they naturally attract each other and stick firmly. This is similar to how an ionic bond works, where oppositely charged ions are drawn toward each other due to their natural attraction, just like the magnets. In this analogy, the magnets represent the ions, with one being positively charged and the other negatively charged, and their attraction is the same force that causes ions to come together and form a stable compound.
