Question

how should you change this image to represent an ionic bond between sodium and fluorine? a move 7 electrons from fluorine to sodium. b move one electron from fluorine to sodium. c move one electron from sodium to fluorine. d nothing. the image already represents an ionic bond.

Explanation:

Ionic bonds form when a metal transfers valence electrons to a nonmetal. Sodium (Na) is a metal with 1 valence electron, and fluorine (F) is a nonmetal with 7 valence electrons. To achieve stable electron configurations, sodium donates its single valence electron to fluorine, forming positively charged Na⁺ and negatively charged F⁻, which attract to form an ionic bond.

Answer:

C. Move one electron from sodium to fluorine.
