Define ionic bonding

An ionic bond is formed through the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions (cations and anions) resulting from the transfer of electrons.

Evaluate the given options

• A) Oppositely charged ions attract: This is the fundamental definition of electrostatic attraction in ionic bonding.
• B) Two atoms share two electrons: This describes a single covalent bond.
• C) One atom has more than two electrons: This is a general atomic property, not a defining feature of ionic bonding.
• D) Like-charged ions attract: Like charges repel, they do not attract.

Select the correct option

Option A is correct.
