Solution

The correct option is C

Electrons


When atoms bond, they exchange electrons. Atoms that donate and receive electrons form electrovalent/ionic bonds. Atoms that share electrons have covalent bonds. An example of an ionic bond can be found in sodium chloride (NaCl). An example of a double covalent bond can be found in molecular oxygen 02.
