Question

question 10 (2.5 points)
a(n)_____is a type of chemical bond in which a strong mutual attraction forms between ions of opposite charge.
hydrogen bond
nonpolar bond
polar bond
covalent bond
ionic bond

Explanation:

• A hydrogen bond is a weak electrostatic attraction between a hydrogen atom and an electronegative atom (not a bond between ions of opposite charge).
• A nonpolar bond is a covalent bond where electrons are shared equally (not related to ion - ion attraction).
• A polar bond is a covalent bond where electrons are shared unequally (not ion - ion).
• A covalent bond involves sharing of electrons (not ion - ion).
• An ionic bond is formed by the strong mutual attraction between ions of opposite charge.

Answer:

ionic bond
