Question

question: when two atoms transfer electrons, the bond formed is called a/an ____ bond. answer options: select one of four hydrogen ionic nonpolar covalent polar covalent

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Hydrogen bonds are intermolecular forces, not formed by electron transfer between atoms.
• Ionic bonds are formed when one atom transfers electrons to another, resulting in ions that attract each other.
• Nonpolar covalent bonds involve equal sharing of electrons, no transfer.
• Polar covalent bonds involve unequal sharing of electrons, no transfer.

So the bond from electron transfer is ionic.

Answer:

B. ionic
