Which statement best describes how an ionic bond forms?
a. the transfer of electrons forms strong bonds between ions.
b. the sharing of electrons forms strong bonds between ions.
c. the transfer of electrons results in attractive forces between molecules.
d. the sharing of electrons results in attractive forces between molecules.

The chemical bond formed between two oppositely charged ions is known as ionic bond. The formation of ions takes place by transfer of electrons from one atom to other atom. The loss of electron will result in the formation of cation and gaining of electron results in the formation of anion. The force of attraction between cation and anion is electrostatic force of attraction which is stronger and thus results in the stable ionic compound.

Hence, an ionic bond is formed by the transfer of electrons forms strong bonds between ions.

a. The transfer of electrons forms strong bonds between ions.

Explanation:

Hello,

At first, one must remember that Ionic bonding is a type of chemical bond in which valence electrons are lost from one atom and gained by another, thus ionic bonds are characterized because the bridge connecting the ions (considering the losing-winning mechanism) is very strong, so one states that electrons are transferred rather than shared (covalent bonds).

i'm assuming that it's c.) red bank..

the answer is:  

line graphs show patterns in data with variables that change over time; whereas, circle graphs show data as parts out of a whole (such as out of 100%).
