Which of the following is true of ionic bonds?Electrons are shared during bondingElectrons are completely transferred during bondingElectrons are not involved with bondingSave
Solution
The correct statement about ionic bonds is: "Electrons are completely transferred during bonding".
In an ionic bond, one atom donates an electron (or electrons) to another atom. This results in one atom becoming positively charged (the atom that lost the electron) and the other atom becoming negatively charged (the atom that gained the electron). This transfer of electrons is what forms the ionic bond.
So, the statement "Electrons are shared during bonding" is not true for ionic bonds, it's true for covalent bonds where electrons are shared between atoms.
And the statement "Electrons are not involved with bonding" is not true because electrons are involved in all types of chemical bonds, including ionic bonds.
