Expert Answer:
A diatomic compound is formed by the transfer of one or more electrons from the atom of a highly electropositive metallic element to an atom of a highly electronegative non-metallic element. The type of the bond formed is called as ionic or electrovalent bond.
Example:
An atom of a highly electropositive metallic element such as Na loses electrons to attain the stable electronic configuration and becomes a cation.
Na Na+
2, 8, 1 2, 8
(Neutral) (Cation)
An atom of a highly electronegative non-metallic element such as Cl gains electrons to attain the stable electronic configuration and becomes an anion.
Cl Cl-
2, 8, 7 2, 8, 8
(Neutral) (Anion)
Cations and anions are oppositely charged particles which attract one another to form an electrovalent bond leading to the formation of an electrovalent compound which is diatomic.
Na+ + Cl−→ NaCl
