- The correct statement about ionic bonds is:
b) Se forman por la transferencia de electrones.
In ionic bonds, electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of positive and negative ions. This transfer of electrons creates an electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions, leading to the bond formation. Ionic bonds typically occur between a metal and a non-metal where the metal loses electrons to form a positive ion, and the non-metal gains those electrons to form a negative ion. This type of bond is characterized by strong electrostatic forces of attraction holding the ions together in a crystal lattice structure.
