The correct answer is:
**the transfer of valence electrons results in a completed valence shell for each ion.**
In ionic interactions, electrons are transferred from one atom (typically a metal, which becomes a cation) to another atom (typically a non-metal, which becomes an anion), resulting in the formation of ions that achieve a more stable electron configuration.
**the transfer of valence electrons results in a completed valence shell for each ion.**
