Question

What is an ionic bond?

a.the attraction positive ions have for free electrons

b.the attraction and bonding of ions with equal opposite charges

c.the force that holds the valence electrons to the atom

c.the bonding of ions to the same element atoms of neutral charge

Answer 1

b

Answer 2

a chemical bond in which one atom loses an electron to form a positive ion and the other atom gains an electron to form a negative ion.

thats an ionic bond. hope it helps!

Answer 3

exactly, in ionic the metals tend to loose their valence elctrons, becoming a positive ion,while a non-metal which reacts with it, gains that electron allowing it become a negative ion. so, that's why the metals, non-metals and the delocalised electrons have opposite charges, which causes the particles to repel
