Question

there are two main types of bonds: covalent and ionic. ionic bonds increase the stability of both atoms by one atom donating electrons to the other. covalent bonds increase the stability of both atoms by sharing electrons. in the formation of salt, sodium gives an electron to chlorine. what type of bond is this? hydrogen bond ionic bond metabolic bond

Explanation:

Ionic bonds form when one atom donates an electron to another. In salt - formation, sodium donates an electron to chlorine. Hydrogen bonds are weak attractions between molecules, and there is no such thing as a "metabolic bond" in the context of basic chemical bonding types.

Answer:

B. Ionic bond
