See Concept 2.3 (Page 37) both atoms are equally attractive to electrons one atom transfers an electron to another atom both atoms are electrically neutral atoms are subjected to radioactive isotopes both atoms are nonpolar

Answer 1

Answer: The ionic bond is when one atom transfers an electron to another atom

Step-by-step explanation:

Ionic bond is formed between oppositely charged substances - a positively charged substance, and a negatively charged substance.

Usually, an atom donates its electron (become positively charged) to another atom to complete its outermost shell (becoming negatively charged).

Thus, the formation of transfer of electrons creates an IONIC BOND
