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

The transfer of electrons form strong bonds between ions.

Explanation:

Ionic bonds are formed by transfer of electrons of non-metallic and metallic covalent bonds. Here a cation is formed when a metal looses it valence bond and the anion collected electrons.

This exchange results in a more suitable, noble gas electronic configuration in the two atoms that met. Ionic bond is solely happens on attractive electrostatic forces of two ions with opposite charge.

The transfer of electrons forms strong bonds between ions.

Explanation:

Ionic bond is also called electrovalent bond. It involves the complete transfer of electrons between the metals and the non metals.

In this bonding system the metals (cation)present donates an electron to become positively charged while the non metals(anion) accepts the electrons to become negatively charged.

Ionic bond encourages strong bond between ions due to the complete transfer of the outermost shell electrons.
