Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
An ionic bond is formed by:
A
two or more positive ions combining.
B
two or more negative ions combining.
C
a positive and a negative ion attracting each other
D
sharing of a pair of electrons.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An ionic bond is formed when a positive and negative ions bond together. The strong electrostatic force of attraction between positive and negative ions make the bond stronger. Covalent bonds are formed by sharing of electrons and hence, they are weaker than ionic bonds.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ionic bonding is the attraction between positively-and negatively-charged ions. These oppositely charged ions attract each other to form ionic networks (or lattices). Electrostatics explains why this happens: opposite charges attract and like charges repel.

Detailed explanation-3: -ionic bond, also called electrovalent bond, type of linkage formed from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a chemical compound.

Detailed explanation-4: -A positive ion will be attracted to any negative ion. TRUE: any positively charged object will be attracted to any negatively charged object. It does not matter how the objects acquired the charge, the attraction only depends on the amount of charge, and the distance between the two charged objects.

Detailed explanation-5: -Ionic bonds result from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, which form when valence electrons are transferred from one atom to another.
