Question

When Ionic bonds are formed metallic atoms tend to
A) share electrons
B) gain electrons
C) lose electrons
D) None of above

Answer 1

answer : option (A) share of electrons.

explanation : Ionic bonds are formed by metallic atoms to share of electron from one atom to another.

To form Ionic bonds , one atom should be metal and other atom should be non-metals.

actually, metals have high tendency to loss electrons whereas non metal have high tendency to accept electrons due to this reason when one metal and one non metal are placed together, metal $\textbf{share}$ its electron to non-metal. this way metal becomes electropositive and non-metal becomes electronegative ion, and then forms ionic bond.

hence, option (A) is correct choice.
