The formation of an ionic bond involves the
A
transfer of electrons
B
transfer of neutrons
C
transfer of protons
D
sharing of electrons
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. It is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions. In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.

Detailed explanation-2: -An ionic bond is formed through the transfer of one or more valence electrons, typically from a metal to a non-metal, which produces a cation and an anion that are bound together by an attractive electrostatic force.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ionic bond involves a transfer of electrons whereas covalent bond involves sharing of electrons.
