Fill in the blank: The bonds in an ionic compound________
electrons.

Answer 1

The correct answer is "transferred; unequally shared; equally shared". Explanation: Ionic bonding occurs when a positively charged atom (cation) interacts with a negatively charged atom (anion). In ionic bonding, the cation transfers its electron to the anion

Answer 2

Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron

Step-by-step explanation:

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.
