NEET Chemistry Ionic Bond MCQ Question
What is a key factor that favors the formation of an ionic bond?
Large difference in electronegativity between atoms
Similar atomic sizes of bonded atoms
Presence of unpaired electrons in both atoms
High ionization energy of the metal atom
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The formation of an ionic bond is favored by a large difference in electronegativity between the atoms involved, which leads to the transfer of electrons from the metal to the non-metal, creating ions.
