<span>The correct answer is that an ionic bond forms between charged particles. To form this bond, the particles transfer valence electrons (those in the outermost orbit). Specifically, in ionic bonding, the metal atom loses its electrons (thus becoming positive) and the nonmetal atom gains electrons (thus becoming negative).</span>
The correct answer is 1) Ag, Si, I₂
Ag or silver is a metal. Silver is a transition element which lies in the d-block of the periodic table.
Si or silicon is a metalloid. Silicon is a metalloid which lies in the p-block of the periodic table.
I₂ or iodine is a nonmetal. Iodine is a halogen which lies in group 17 of the periodic table. All halogens are nonmetals.
