Hi, Are you good in explains ionic bond?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A chemical bond formed between two ions with opposite charges. Ionic bonds form when one atom gives up one or more electrons to another atom. These bonds can form between a pair of atoms or between molecules and are the type of bond found in salts.

Let us now eliminate the wrong! Can noble gases go to an ionic form?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its not d right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good going! What about metal and metal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it is c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes! you know it well :-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ionic compounds are formed from a metal and a non-metal. The metal loses the valence electron(s) to the non-metal, forming ionic bonds due to the electrostatic attraction between the cation and the anion formed (when a metal atom loses electron(s), it would become cation, and when a non-metal atom receives electron(s) it would become an anion).
