Question

During the formation of ___________ electron transfer takes place from one atom to the other.

Answer 1

1.Ionic bond is formed by the transfer of electrons from an electropositive element to an electronegative element.

Example: NaCl contains an Ionic bond.

2.During the formation of NaCl, an electron is transferred from Na with $\left[Ne\right]3s^1$ to Cl with $\left[Ne\right]3s^{2}3p^5$ and forms $N{a}^{+}$ and $C{l}^{-}$.Since ions are involved, it is called an ionic bond.
