Question

The type of chemical bond that involves the transfer of electrons between atoms is a(n) bond.

Answer 1

The type of chemical bond that involves the transfer of electrons between atoms is a(n) ionic bond.

Answer 2

Answer;

-Ionic bond

Explanation;

• Ionic bond is a type of bonds that results from transfers of electrons from one atom to another. This types of bond is formed between metals and non metals.
• Metals lose electrons to form cations (positively charged ion) and non metals gain electrons forming anions, negatively charged ion.
• For instance; between sodium and chlorine element; sodium donates a single electron to attain a stable configuration while chlorine gains an electron to achieve stable configuration, thus forming an ionic compound sodium chloride.
