The statement that is true regarding ionic bonds is:
"typically form when the difference in the electronegativities of the two atoms is great."
Ionic bonds typically occur between atoms with a significant difference in electronegativity, usually between a metal and a nonmetal, where electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of charged ions. The other options, such as shared electrons indicating covalent bonds, are not applicable to ionic bonds.
