Question

the bond formed by the complete transfer of electrons from an electropositive element to an electronegative element held together by electrostatic forces is known as an: induction bond. ionic bond. isostatic bond. induced coupling bond.

Explanation:

Ionic bonds involve the complete transfer of electrons from an electropositive element (which loses electrons to form cations) to an electronegative element (which gains electrons to form anions). The resulting ions are held together by electrostatic forces. Induction bond and induced coupling bond are not standard chemical bond types. Isostatic bond is also not a recognized bond type in chemistry related to the described electron - transfer and electrostatic - force - based bonding.

Answer:

ionic bond.
