An ionic bond is a bond between ____.
a. the ions of two different metals
b. a cation and an anion
c. the ions of two different nonmetals
d. valence electrons and cations
An ionic bond is a bond which occurs when there is a
difference in the electronegativity of the atoms. One atom which has a stronger
electronegativity tends to steal the electron of the other less electronegative
atom hence making it more negative (anion), while the other becomes a cation.
So answer is:
