Question

The type of bond involved in the formation of sodium chloride is

• A. Ester bond
• B. Pepticide bond
• C. Ionic bond
• D. Covalent bond

Answer 1

The correct option is C Ionic bond

Sodium chloride (NaCl) is formed by bonding between positively charged sodium ions (Na${}^{+}$) and negatively charged chloride ions (Cl${}^{-}$). The type of bonding between these ions is ionic bonding. Ionic bonds are forced form by the electrical attractions between ions bearing opposite charges.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
