Explanation:

  • An ionic compound is defined as the compound formed by transfer of electrons from one atom to another.

For example, lithium atom on donating its one valence electron to chlorine atom will result in the formation of an ionic bond and the compound formed is LiCl.

  • A molecule is defined as a substance which can contain either same or different elements.

For example, Cl_{2}, MgSO_{4} etc are molecules.

  • A molecule can contain either a covalent or ionic bond. But an ionic compound will always contain an ionic bond.

Which statement correctly describes ionic bonds? Multiple Choice An ionic bond only forms between two atoms of the same element.
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

An ionic bond is the electrostatic force that holds ions together when they form bonds

Explanation:

An ionic bond is formed when a metal looses electron(s) to a non metal leading to the formation of a positive ion and a negative ion.

An ionic compound is actually an ion pair, the ions are held together by strong electrostatic forces.

This strong electrostatic force that holds the ion pair together in ionic compounds is what we commonly call the IONIC BOND.

Which element of weather is caused by a difference in air pressure between two air masses?
cestrela7 [59]

Wind results due to difference in air pressure of air masses. Due to difference in pressure of two air masses, low pressure zone is created by lifting of one the air mass above the other as the movement of air takes place from higher pressure area to lower pressure area. This causes different wind speed in different areas. The direction of wind depends on its origin for example, a northerly wind always moves from north to south direction.
