As you know, electrovalent bonds result very strong electrostatic attraction force. All the factors that help maximize this electrostatic attraction are important for the formation of the ionic bond. Here are the important factors;
- Low ionization energy Metal
- High electron affinity Non Metal
- Large-sized cations
- Small-sized anions
- Electronegativity equal to or greater than 1.7

Covalent and electrovalent bonding are the two major chemical bonding processes. These two bonds are different from each other in multiple aspects. Check the table below to know a concise summary of the differences.
| Particular | Covalent Bond | Ionic Bond |
| Formation | Due to the complete transfer of electrons | Due to the sharing of electron pairs |
| Ion formation | No ions formed | Cations and Anions formed. |
| Nature | Electrostatic attraction between ions | Electrostatic attraction between nuclei and shared electrons |
| Strength | Strong | Less strong |
| Melting/Boiling point | High due to a strong bond | lower due to weaker bond |
| Polarity | Highley Polar | Non-Polar |

C? H? + 5O? → 3CO? + 4H? O
C? H? + (13/2)O? → 4CO? + 5H? O
∴ 2 mol C? H? is given
∴ 13 mol O? is required for combustion of Butane
∴ Total mol of O? = 5 + 13 = 18

Industries manily select an optimal temperature which is high enough to increase the reaction rate (molecules colliding with each other at higher fequencies) and at the same time is balanced to avoid any side effect. This effectively yields high quality production without any wastage or leading to harmful results while ensuring safety of the consumers too.

Gd: [Xe]4f?5d¹6s²
∴ Gd³? is [Xe]4f?
Also μ = √n (n + 2) B.M
= √7x9 B.M = 7.9 B.M
