Question

which will form an ionic bond? a. two oxygen atoms b. any two neutral atoms c. two oppositely - charged ions d. two negative ions

Explanation:

An ionic bond is formed by the electrostatic attraction between two oppositely - charged ions. A metal atom loses electrons to form a cation (positively - charged ion) and a non - metal atom gains those electrons to form an anion (negatively - charged ion), and they are then attracted to each other.

Answer:

C. Two oppositely - charged ions
