Question

Compounds formed from the attraction of oppositely charged ions are called _________. ionic compounds covalent compounds molecular compounds mineral compounds

Answer 1

The correct answer is option A, ionic compounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Ionic compounds are formed between two elements in which one element is positively charged while the other element is negatively charged. The two elements being oppositely charged get attracted towards each other and form a compound. In this compound, one element gains the electron and becomes the anion with negative charge and the other one loses the electron and becomes positively charged and is known as Cation. s

For example

NaCl

Na has charge = +1

Cl has charge = -1

These two have equal and opposite charge and thus combine together to form ionic compound.

Answer 2

The right answer is ionic compounds.

Ionic compounds do not contain distinct molecules but interacting ions

electrostatic.

An ionic compound is formed by the association of positive and negative ions.

An ionic compound is electrically neutral.

Here's an example : Calcium chloride

Writing of the ionic compound: CaCl2

Positive ion: calcium ion Ca ++

Negative ion: chloride ion Cl-
