Ionic bonding is a type of chemical bond in which valence electrons are lost from one atom and gained by another.. This bond generates two oppositely charged ions.

In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.

Example ::

One example of an ionic bond is the formation of sodium fluoride, NaF, from a sodium atom and a fluorine atom. In this reaction, the sodium atom loses its single valence electron to the fluorine atom, which has just enough space to accept it. The ions produced are oppositely charged and are attracted to one another due to electrostatic forces.

The amount of water vapor ranges from a trace amount up to 4% of the mass of air. Water vapor exists as an invisible gas in the air.

The amount of water vapor in the air is called absolute humidity. The amount of water vapor in the air as compared with the amount of water that the air could hold is called relative humidity.

The maximum amount of water vapor that can be in the air depends on the air temperature.

From the trial and error method of division,

201 is divisible by 3

205 is divisible by 5

203 is divisible by 7

Hence, after eliminating three options, remained is 211 and is divisible by only 1 and itself. 

Therefore, 211 is the smallest prime number greater than 200.
