Why ionic bond is non directional but covalent bond is directional?


Why ionic bond is non directional but covalent bond is directional?


Actually, there is no existence of ionic bond. Ionic bond is nothing but a force of electrostatic attraction between cationand anion, which is formed by the lose or gain of electrons.
Since there is no direction of electrostatic attraction force, so ionic bond or ionic valency has no specific direction.
