Which of the following compounds results from the formation of an ionic bond?

Answer 1

An ionic bond is formed when there is a transfer of electrons from one atom to another. This typically occurs between a metal and a nonmetal. So, the compound that would result from the formation of an ionic bond would be the combination of a metal and a nonmetal.

Out of the following compounds, the one that fits this criteria is J) Potassium chloride (KCl). Potassium (K) is a metal and chloride (Cl) is a nonmetal.
