Ionic Bond

What happens during the formation of an ionic bond?

• Electrons are shared between atoms

• Electrons are transferred from a metal to a nonmetal

• Atoms split into smaller atoms

• Protons are transferred from a nonmetal to a metal

In the process of forming an ionic bond, Atom 1 is a (metal/nonmetal) and Atom 2 is a (metal/nonmetal).

• Atom 1 is a metal and Atom 2 is a nonmetal.

• Atom 1 is a nonmetal and Atom 2 is a metal.

• Atom 1 is a nonmetal and Atom 2 is a nonmetal.

• Atom 1 is a metal and Atom 2 is a metal

After the transfer of electrons, what type of molecule is formed?

• Ionic molecule

• Covalent molecule

• Metallic molecule

• Hydrogen molecule
