Question

1. an ionic bond is formed by the electrostatic attraction between:

two anions

two neutral atoms

two cations
a cation and an anion

clear all

Explanation:

An ionic bond is formed due to the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions. A cation is a positively charged ion, and an anion is a negatively charged ion. Two anions (negative charges) or two cations (positive charges) would repel each other. Neutral atoms have no net charge to form an ionic bond. So, ionic bond is between a cation and an anion.

Answer:

a cation and an anion
