Question

Pick the incorrect option about ionic bond.

• A. It contains electropositive and electronegative elements
• B. It contains positive ions and negative ions
• C. It contains shared electrons
• D. It involves electrostatic interaction

Answer 1

The correct option is C It contains shared electrons

Electropositive elements tend to become positive ions and electronegative elements tend to become negative ions.
The positive and the negative ions come together in an electrostatic interaction to form the ionic bond. There is a complete gain or loss of electrons and no sharing of electrons is involved.
