Solution

The correct option is C Both statements are true
Both the statements are true because :
  • If an atom has 1 electron in its outermost shell and able to lose it easily, it forms an ionic bond with an atom that has 7 electrons in its outermost shell and gains electron easily.
  • If an atom has 2 electron in its outermost shell and able to lose them easily, it forms an ionic bond with an atom having 6 electrons in its outermost shell and gains electrons easily.
  • If an atom has 3 electron in its outermost shell and able to lose them easily, it forms an ionic bond with an atom having 5 electrons in its outermost shell and gains electrons easily.
