Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is true of ionic bonds?
A
Electrons are completely transferred during bonding
B
Electrons are shared during bonding
C
Electrons are not involved with bonding
D
All of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In ionic bonds, the complete transfer of one or more electrons occurs between the donor and acceptor elements. There are few factors that cause the formation of ionic bonds; one of them is the large differences in electronegativity of atoms, which attract other atoms for the transfer of their electrons.

Detailed explanation-2: -They have high boiling and melting points. They conduct electricity in the solid state.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -In an ionic compound, electrons are transferred from one atom to another atom, whereas in a polar covalent compound electron pair/pairs between participating atoms are not equally shared. No worries!
