Question

The mutual force of attraction between ions of opposite charges acn best be described as...

A) an ionic bond
B) a polar covalent bond
C) an electronegative bond
D) a non-polar covalent bond

Answer 1

A) an ionic bond

Step-by-step explanation:

The mutual force of attraction between ions of opposite charges can best be described as an ionic bond.

In an ionic bond, an atom picks up electrons from the other so it becomes into a strongly electronegative atom while the other becomes into a strongly electropositive atoms and, as ions of different signs, it is generated an electrostatic attraction force between them.

Answer 2

The mutual attraction of oppositely charged ions is called the ionic bond. Polar covalent bond is composed of unequal sharing between of non-metal elements which are non-ionic. Non-polar bond is composed on the other hand of equal sharing of these non-ionic elements. Hence, the answer is A.
