NEET Chemistry Ionic Bond MCQ Question
Which of the following statements correctly describes the conditions favoring the formation of an ionic bond?
Low ionization enthalpy of the cation and high negative electron gain enthalpy of the anion.
High ionization enthalpy of the cation and low negative electron gain enthalpy of the anion.
Low ionization enthalpy of the cation and low negative electron gain enthalpy of the anion.
High ionization enthalpy of the cation and high negative electron gain enthalpy of the anion.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Ionic bonds are more easily formed between elements with low ionization enthalpies and high negative electron gain enthalpies, as these conditions favor electron transfer.
