Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The general characteristic of ionic bond has to be chosen from the given options.
Concept Introduction:
It is the force that acts between two or more atoms to hold them together in a molecule or ion.
A chemical bond is an attraction between atoms brought about by –
- A sharing of electrons between two atoms or ions
- A complete transfer of electrons.
An ionic bond is a chemical bond formed through the transfer of one or more electrons form one atom or group of atoms to another atom or group of atoms.
