Ionic Bonds

Question

Ionic bonds:
A) usually dissolve easily in water
B) produced ions when dissolved in water
C) are formed by atoms of opposite charge
D) all of the above

Accepted Answer

Ionic bonds are formed between atoms of opposite charges, usually involving a metal and a nonmetal. When these compounds dissolve in water, they dissociate into ions, meaning they produce ions when dissolved in water. Because of this, they usually dissolve easily in water. Therefore, all of the above choices (A, B, and C) are correct.
