Question

Lons of the same charge are attracted and form an ionic bond. True Or False

Answer 1

False

Explanation:

Ions of the same charge are not attracted to each other and do not form an ionic bond.

To form ionic bonds, ions of different charges will attract by electrostatic attraction.

• As a general rule of attraction, "like charges repels whereas unlike charges attracts".
• This is applicable to the formations of ionic bonds.
• A metal loses electron due to its low electronegativity. It becomes positively charged in the process.
• A non-metal gains the lost electron and becomes negatively charged
• An electrostatic attraction between these two ions causes the formation of an ionic bond.
