Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In what type of bond are electrons gained or lost? This happens between a metal and a non-metal?
A
ionic
B
covalent
C
subatomic
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Ionic bonds occur between metals, losing electrons, and nonmetals, gaining electrons. Ions with opposite charges will attract one another creating an ionic bond.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The bond between these two ions is called an ionic bond. An ionic bond is formed between a metal and a non-metal. Non-metals(-ve ion) are “stronger” than the metal(+ve ion) and can get electrons very easily from the metal. These two opposite ions attract each other and form the ionic bond.

Detailed explanation-4: -Metals tend to lose electrons to form cations and non-metals tend to gain electrons to form anions. So metals and non-metals form ionic bond by transferring electrons. Q. Ionic bond is formed on complete transfer of electrons from a metal to a non-metal.
