Answer 1

C. Involves a metal and a nonmetal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ionic compound involves a metal and a non-metal. Ionic compounds have electrovalent bonds between them.

These compounds are usually made up of metals and non - metals combining to form a unit.

• The metals usually has low electronegativity and transfers it electrons to the non - metal.
• The non-metal has high affinity for the electron.
• The electrostatic attraction between the ions formed results in the ionic bond.
