Question

question 9 of 10 which produces an ionic bond? a. creating an electrostatic attraction b. sharing valence electrons c. forming large molecules d. making neutrally charged atoms

Explanation:

An ionic bond is formed when there is an electrostatic attraction between oppositely - charged ions. One atom donates electrons to another, creating positive and negative ions that are attracted to each other. Sharing valence electrons forms covalent bonds, forming large molecules is a general result of bonding but not the cause of ionic bonds, and making neutrally - charged atoms is not related to the formation of ionic bonds.

Answer:

A. Creating an electrostatic attraction
