Which shows the correct order of steps during the formation of an ionic bond?
A: Ions are attracted to each other → Electrons are transferred → An ionic compound forms
B: An ionic compound forms → Ions are attracted to each other → Electrons are transferred
C: Electrons are transferred → Ions form → Ions are attracted to each other
D: Ions form → Electrons are transferred → Ions are attracted to each other


Answer :

The correct order of steps during the formation of an ionic bond

  • Electrons are transferred
  • Ions form
  • Ions are attracted to each other

What is Ionic bonding?

This is the type of bonding which occurs as result of transfer of electrons

and is also regarded as electrovalent bonding.

When the electrons are transferred , ions form which then gets attracted

to each other and results in the formation of a compound.
