Ionic and covalent bonds are produced by the influence of:

A. electrons only
B. Nuclear charge only
C. electrons and nuclear charge
D. dissimilar atoms only

Respuesta :

C- Electrons and nuclear charge

Answer: The correct option is A.

Explanation:

  • Ionic bonds are the bonds which are formed by the complete transfer of electrons from one element to another element.

The element which releases electrons are considered as electropositive element.

The element which accepts the electron is termed as electronegative element.

  • Covalent bonds are formed by the sharing of electrons between two elements.

In both the bonds there is an involvement of electrons. So, the electrons only influence the formation of these two bonds.

Hence, the correct option is A.
