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: ionic bond. induced coupling bond. isostatic bond. induction bond.

Explanation:

Ionic bonds form when electrons are transferred from electropositive (metal) to electronegative (non - metal) elements. The resulting ions (cations and anions) are held by electrostatic forces. Induced coupling, isostatic, and induction bonds are not standard terms for this electron - transfer and electrostatic - force - based bonding.

Answer:

ionic bond.
