Which statement about ionic bonds is correct? A. Ionic bonds form when similarly charged ions are attracted to each other B. Ion
ic bonds form when electrons are shared C. Ionic bonds form when oppositely charged ions are attracted to each other D. Ionic bonds form when a protons are shared between atoms.
Option C. Ionic bonds form when oppositely charged ions are attracted to each other
Explanation:
An ionic bond is a bond that forms when two oppositely charged ions are electrostatically attracted to one other, where metal is an anion and nonmetal is a cation.
For instance, the bond between NaCl is an ionic bond where sodium is metal and anion (Na⁺) and chlorine is nonmetal and cation (Cl⁻) and makes salt.
