NEET Chemistry Ionic Bond MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about ionic bonds is correct?
Ionic bonds are formed between elements with low ionization enthalpy and high negative electron gain enthalpy.
Ionic bonds are always endothermic processes that require energy input to form.
Cations in ionic compounds are typically derived from non-metallic elements.
Electron affinity is the positive energy change accompanying electron gain in gaseous atoms.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Ionic bonds are indeed formed more easily between elements with low ionization enthalpies and high negative values of electron gain enthalpy, as stated in the context. Other options reflect misconceptions about the nature of ionic bonds and electron affinity.
