Question

Which type of bond is formed due to transfer of electrons between two dissimilar atoms?

• A. Electrovalent bond
• B. Electrostatic bond
• C. Ionic bond
• D. All of these

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

When electrons are transferred between two dissimilar atoms, they form an ionic bond. The term "electrovalent bond" is often used interchangeably with ionic bond because it involves the transfer of electrons to form ions that are held together by electrostatic forces. An electrostatic bond also refers to the attractive force between positively and negatively charged ions, which is the essence of an ionic bond. Therefore, all of these terms (electrovalent bond, ionic bond, electrostatic bond) refer to the same type of bonding.
Thus, the correct answer is that all of these bonds are formed due to the transfer of electrons between dissimilar atoms.

The correct option is (D): All of these
