Question

The chemical bond formed by the transfer of electrons between two atoms is called an ionic bond.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Ionic bond:

Ionic bond:

• When the valence (outermost) electrons of metal atom are permanently transferred to nonmetal atom to form positive and negative ions respectively.
• The metal atom lose its valence electrons to form positive ion whereas, the nonmetal atom gain electron to form negative ion.
• The electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a chemical molecule forms an ionic bond, also known as an electrovalent bond.

Therefore, the given statement is true.
