Question

Which of the following occurs in an ionic bond? *

O Oppositely charged ions attract.
OTwo atoms share two electrons.
Two atoms share more than two electrons.
Like-charged ions attract.

Answer 1

Oppositely charged ions attract.

Step-by-step explanation:

In an ionic bond oppositely charged ions attracts one another by electrostatic attraction.

• To form ionic bonds, chemical species must lose or gain electrons.
• Most metals will lose their electrons due to electropositive nature.
• Non-metals gains the electrons.
• When a substance lose electrons, it becomes positively charged.
• A non-metal gaining electrons becomes negatively charged.
• The attraction between these two species forms the ionic bond.
