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.

Which of the following best describes a benefit of one type of nonrenewable energy?
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

" Natural gas does not produce greenhouse gases as other energy sources do."

Explanation:

The answer, "Coal deposits are found on nearly every continent and mining coal poses few risks." shows only how it can be a better option, but does not show how it can benefit.

The answer, "Petroleum is relatively inexpensive compared to other forms of energy." only shows how it can be a better option, but does not show how it can benefit.

The answer, "Nuclear power increases water vapor in the atmosphere." does not clearly state how this benefits us.
