ionic bonding

Which of the following is NOT a step in forming an ionic bond?

• One atom shares its electrons with another one.
• Opposite charged ions form due to e- transfer
• One atom gives electrons to another one
• Opposite charged ions attract

Why do ionic bonds form?

• So the number of protons equals the number of electrons.
• To stabilize the atom with a full outer shell.
• So an atom can become unstable.
• So atoms will stick together to form molecules.
