21 22 23 24 25 time remaining 01: 34: 03 which shows the correct order of steps during the formation of an ionic bond? ions are attracted to each other → electrons are transferred → an ionic compound forms an ionic compound forms → ions are attracted to each other → electrons are transferred electrons are transferred → ions form → ions are attracted to each other ions form → electrons are transferred → ions are attracted to each other

Before I answer I want to say this Calibri is the superior font and green is the only highlight color.

The correct answer is C: Electrons are transferred → Ions form → Ions are attracted to each other

Explanation:

Generally, an ionic compound is formed between electropositive and electronegative elements.

Normally every element wants to occupy the inert gas configuration in order to be stable. During the ionic bond formation the electropositive metal will lose the electrons and forms cation. The electronegative metal will gain electrons and forms anion.

The cation is positively charged and the ion is negatively charged. Due to the coulombic force of attraction, the ions will be attracted to each other and forms an ionic compound.

One can take the example of NaCl where Na will lose one electron and form. Chlorine will take one electron and form. These ions are attracted and sodium chloride is formed.

Hence the formation of an ionic compound follows these steps-

1- First electrons are transferred.

2-The ions are formed

3-The ions are attracted to form the compound
