question 2
1,000 pts
ionic bonds form because...
two or more atoms share protons.
two ions of the same charge are attracted to each other.
two ions of different charges are attracted to each other.
two atoms share their electrons.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Ionic bonds form when one atom donates electrons to another atom, creating ions with opposite charges. Oppositely - charged ions (cations and anions) are attracted to each other due to electrostatic forces. Sharing protons is not relevant to ionic bond formation. Atoms sharing electrons form covalent bonds. Ions of the same charge repel each other.

Answer:

Two ions of different charges are attracted to each other.
