37. Choose the incorrect one: a) An ionic bond represents sharing of electrons. b) Metals are electropositive c) Non-metals are electronegative d)Atoms react in order to complete their octet
​

Answer 1

Answer:

plz mark as brainlest answer is an ionic bond represent sharing of electrons

Explanation:

Chemical bonds are forces that hold atoms together to make compounds or molecules.

Chemical bonds include covalent, polar covalent, and ionic bonds.

Atoms with relatively similar electronegativities share electrons between them and are connected by covalent bonds.

Atoms with large differences in electronegativity transfer electrons to form ions. The ions then are attracted to each other. This attraction is known as an ionic bond.

Key Terms

bond: A link or force between neighboring atoms in a molecule or compound.

ionic bond: An attraction between two ions used to create an ionic compound. This attraction usually forms between a metal and a non-metal.

Answer 2

The incorrect one is a) An ionic bond represents sharing of electrons.

• The ionic compounds are formed by the gain or lose of electrons having cations and anions as their constituent units. These bonds are held together by electrostatic forces.
• Metals are considered to be electropositive in nature as the lose electrons.
• Non-metals are considered to be electronegative in nature as they accept electrons with ease.
• Every atom reacts to acquire stability. This can be fulfilled by completing their octet either by losing or gaining electrons.
• Hence option a is incorrect and option b,c and d are correct.
