Question

choose the best answer. how are ionic bonds formed? a electrons are transferred between atoms. b electrons are shared equally between atoms. c protons are shared equally between atoms. d protons are transferred between atoms.

Explanation:

Ionic bonds are formed when electrons are transferred between atoms. One atom donates electrons (usually a metal) to another atom (usually a non - metal), creating ions of opposite charges that attract each other. Sharing electrons equally occurs in non - polar covalent bonds, and protons are not involved in bond - formation in this way as they are in the nucleus and not shared or transferred in chemical bonding.

Answer:

A. Electrons are transferred between atoms
