Question

The attractive force between oppositely charged ions that holds the ions together is called an ionic bond.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

An ionic bond is formed by the electrostatic force of attraction between positive and negative ions. This bond is due to the transfer of electrons from one atom to another.

Example: $\mathrm{NaCl}\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)\stackrel{\mathrm{transfer}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{electron}}{\to }{\mathrm{Na}}^{+}+{\mathrm{Cl}}^{-}$

Therefore, the given statement is true.
