Between which types of elements do ionic bonds occur, and how do electrons act within the bond?(1 point)

Question

Responses

metals and metals, electrons freely moving

nonmetals and metals, electrons shared

metals and nonmetals, electrons transferred

nonmetals and nonmetals, electrons shared

Answer 1

The correct response is: metals and nonmetals, electrons transferred.

In ionic bonds, electrons are transferred from one element (usually a metal) to another element (usually a nonmetal), resulting in the formation of positively and negatively charged ions that attract each other.
