Respuesta :
n ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged
Answer : Ionic bond is produced by the complete transfer of electrons.
Explanation:
Ionic compound : These are the compounds in which the atoms are bonded through ionic bond.
Ionic bonds are formed by the complete transfer of electrons. The atom which looses the electron is considered as electropositive atom and the atom which gains the electron is known as electronegative atom.
These bonds are formed between one metal and one non-metal.
The example of ionic compound is, [tex]NaCl[/tex] in which the 'Na' sodium metal combine with the 'Cl' chlorine non-metal through the ionic bond.
Hence, the ionic bond is produced by the complete transfer of electrons.
