Question

The Incorrect statement regarding the formation of ionic bond
(A) It involves electrostatic attraction
(B) It involves the absorption of energy
(C) It si an expthermic process
(D) It is a redox process​

Answer 1

Answer:

(B) It involves the absorption of energy is the incorrect statement regarding the formation of ionic bond.

Explanation:

What is an ionic bond:

• Ionic bonding is a type of chemical bonding in ionic compounds, and it involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions or between two atoms with sharply differing electronegativities.
• Along with covalent and metallic bonding, it is one of the most common types of bonding.
• Ions are electrostatically charged atoms (or groups of atoms). Negatively charged ions are formed when atoms gain electrons (called anions). Ions are positively charged atoms that have lost their electrons (called cations).
• The formation of the ionic bond is exothermic.
• Ionic bonding can occur as a result of a redox reaction in which atoms of a low-ionization-energy element (typically metal) give up part of their electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
