The Transfer of Electrons in a Chemical Bond Represents A(n)

Question

The transfer of electrons in a chemical bond represents a(n)
A)ionic bond.
B)polar covalent bond.
C)nonpolar covalent bond.
D)hydrogen bond.

Accepted Answer

The transfer of electrons in a chemical bond results in the formation of ions with opposite charges, which are held together by electrostatic attraction, creating an ionic bond. Polar and nonpolar covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms rather than a transfer, and hydrogen bonds involve interactions between partial charges on different molecules, rather than within a single molecule.
