Question

The electrovalent compound is made up of _________.

• A. electrically charged molecules
• B. neutral molecules
• C. neutral atoms
• D. electrically charged atoms or groups of atoms

Answer 1

The correct option is D electrically charged atoms or groups of atoms

Option D is a correct answer.

An electrovalent compound is made up of electrically charged ions or group of ions.

For example $NaCl$ is made of $N{a}^{+}$ and $C{l}^{-}$ ions.

Ionic bond, also called electrovalent bond, type of linkage formed from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a chemical compound. Such a bond forms when the valence (outermost) electrons of one atom are transferred permanently to another atom
