Question

An ionic bond is formed when a metal transfers electrons to a non-metal.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

Ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions. These ions represent atoms that have lost one or more electrons (known as cations) and atoms that have gained one or more electrons (known as anions). Metals tend to lose electrons to form cations and non-metals tend to gain electrons to form anions. So metals and non-metals form ionic bond by transferring electrons.
