Question

During the formation of the ionic bond, electron transfer takes place from one atom to the others.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The ionic bond is formed by the transfer of electrons.

Eg: During the formation of $NaCl$, $Na=\left[Ne\right]{3s}^1$ looses 1 electron to form $N{a}^{+}$.

Similarly, Cl gains one electron to form $C{l}^{-}$ and together they form NaCl by electrostatic force of attraction.
