Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

If one atom ‘gives away’ an electron to another atom, the atom that gave away the electron will now have a more positive charge and the atom that gained the electron will have a negative charge, these two atoms will bond because positives attract negatives, this is known as a ____ bond

A	Polar Covalent
B	Nonpolar Covalent
C	Ionic
D	H Bond

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -An ionic bond is formed by the complete transfer of some electrons from one atom to another. The atom losing one or more electrons becomes a cation-a positively charged ion. The atom gaining one or more electron becomes an anion-a negatively charged ion.

Detailed explanation-2: -If atoms lose electrons, they become positive ions, or cations. If atoms gain electrons, they become negative ions, or anions. Consider the example of fluorine (see Figure below). A fluorine atom has nine protons and nine electrons, so it is electrically neutral.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ionization is the process by which ions are formed by gain or loss of an electron from an atom or molecule. If an atom or molecule gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged (an anion), and if it loses an electron, it becomes positively charged (a cation).

Detailed explanation-4: -If an atom gains electrons, it’s overall charge becomes negative. If an atom loses electrons, it’s overall charge becomes positive.
