Question

Strong ionic bond is formed between ____ and ____ group elements.

• A. I A and II A
• B. II A and VIII A
• C. IA and VII A
• D. I A and VIII A

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

A strong ionic bond is typically formed between alkali metals (group I A) and halogens (group VII A). Alkali metals have one electron in their outermost shell, which they readily lose, while halogens have seven electrons in their outermost shell, which they readily gain.
Thus, the correct answer is I A and VII A.
