Which of the following describes the formation of an ionic bond? atoms with like charges combine to form ions. two ions combine
2 answers:
<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is opposite charges on positive and negative ions attract each other.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Ionic bonds are defined as the bonds which are formed by the complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another atom. The compounds having ionic bonds are known as ionic compounds.
In this bond formation, the atom loosing its electrons is known as electropositive atom and the atom gaining electrons is known as electronegative atom. In these compounds, oppositely charged ions are attracted towards each other to form a compound.
<u>For Example:</u> NaCl is formed by the combination of ions.
