Answer: Option D.

Explanation:

An ionic bond is defined as a chemical bond forms when two oppositely charged ions undergo electrostatic attraction. Ionic bonds always formed between a metal (cation), and a nonmetal (an anion).

Ionic bonds are formed when a cation (metal) donates an electron to anion (nonmetal). for example formation of Sodium Fluoride (NaF), sodium (cation) with atomic number eleven is having one valence electron in its outer orbit and fluoride (anion) with atomic number nine require one atom to complete its orbit, so the sodium atoms transfer one electrons to fluoride and leads to the formation of an ionic compound.

Hence, the correct option is D.

A paragraph on the 3 forms of energy involved in a muscle contraction
irga5000 [103]
There are three types of energy involved in a muscle's contraction. There is metabolism, catabolism, and anabolism. Metabolism is the events that are carried out in the human body to create energy and other things needed for activity. Catabolism is the process during the organic matter is broken down and the energy is released, it takes place during increased movement. Anabolism is the energy-consuming process that substances are created, it takes place when there is little movement. All three of these work to gather in muscle contraction.
