Question

A bond in which electrons are transferred from one atom to another.
Answered by GPT-4o mini
The type of bond in which electrons are transferred from one atom to another is called an **ionic bond**. In an ionic bond, one atom loses one or more electrons, becoming a positively charged ion (cation), while another atom gains those electrons, becoming a negatively charged ion (anion). The electrostatic attraction between these oppositely charged ions holds them together, forming the ionic compound. This type of bonding typically occurs between metals and nonmetals.
