Question

  1. this occurs with the complete transfer of electrons from one element to another results in the electrostatic (charged) bonding. covalent bond ionic bond polar bond metallic bond clear all

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

An ionic bond involves the complete transfer of electrons from one atom (usually a metal) to another (usually a non - metal). This electron transfer creates ions (positively charged cations and negatively charged anions). The electrostatic attraction between these oppositely charged ions forms the ionic bond. In contrast:

  • A covalent bond involves the sharing of electrons between atoms.
  • A polar bond is a type of covalent bond where there is an unequal sharing of electrons due to differences in electronegativity between atoms.
  • A metallic bond is the electrostatic attraction between positively charged metal ions and a sea of delocalized electrons.

Answer:

B. Ionic Bond
