Question

how are ionic bonds formed?
electrons are transferred from non - metal atoms to metal atoms
electrons are shared between metal and non - metal atoms
electrons are transferred from metal atoms to non - metal atoms
electrons are shared between non - metal atoms

Explanation:

Ionic bonds form when there is a transfer of electrons. Metals tend to lose electrons to form cations, and non - metals tend to gain electrons to form anions. The electrostatic attraction between these oppositely charged ions creates the ionic bond.

Answer:

C. Electrons are transferred from metal atoms to non - metal atoms
