NEET Chemistry Ionic Bond MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about ionic bonds is correct?
Ionic bonds form between elements with low ionization enthalpies and high negative electron gain enthalpies.
Ionic bonds are formed exclusively between two metallic elements.
Ionic bonds involve the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.
Ionic bonds are always formed in solid-state materials only.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Statement A is correct as ionic bonds typically form between metals (low ionization enthalpies) and non-metals (high negative electron gain enthalpy). Statements B and C are incorrect as ionic bonds involve transfer, not sharing, of electrons, and ionic bonds can form in various states, not just solids.
