Question

bonds quick check
between which types of elements do ionic bonds occur, and how do electrons act within the bond? (1 point)
nonmetals and metals, electrons shared
metals and nonmetals, electrons transferred
metals and metals, electrons freely moving
nonmetals and nonmetals, electrons shared

Explanation:

Ionic bonds form between metals and non - metals. In an ionic bond, electrons are transferred from the metal atom (which becomes a cation) to the non - metal atom (which becomes an anion). This transfer occurs due to the large electronegativity difference between metals and non - metals.

Answer:

metals and nonmetals, electrons transferred
