Solution

The correct option is A True
In an ionic compound, atoms combine to attain inert gas configuration by losing or gaining electrons.

For example, in an ionic compound, NaCl, sodium (Na) loses one electron to chlorine (Cl) because sodium has one electron more and chlorine has one electron less than the nearest inert gas configuration.
