Question

Which of the following compounds would contain an electrostatic attraction as bonds between ions?

Answer 1

Answer:

iron sulfate

Explanation:

Electrostatic attraction as bonds between ions is characteristic of the electrovalent bond or the ionic bond

In this type of bond, there is electron transfer from one atom to another. The atom that looses electrons become positively charged while the atom that gains electrons becomes negatively charged.

In iron sulfate, there is electrostatic attraction between Fe II ions and sulphate ions, making iron sulfate an ionic compound.
