Question

1)Typically, atom gain or lose electrons to achieve (1 point)
A)an exchange of energy
B)ionization
C)a stable electron configuration
D)Vaporization
2)The formation of an ionic bond involves(1point)
A)transfer of electrons.
B)transfer of neutrons.
C)transfer of protons.
D)sharing of electrons.

Answer 1

Typically , atom gain or lose electrons to achieve A stable electron configuration

The formation of an ionic bond involves : Transfer of electrons
In the formation of ionic bond, the electron is closer to being stolen , not shared

hope this helps

Answer 2

Answer:

For 1: The correct answer is Option C.

For 2: The correct answer is Option A.

Explanation:

• For 1:

Ions are formed when an atom looses or gains electrons. If an atom looses electrons, it will lead to the formation of positive ions known as cations. If an atom gains electrons, it will lead to the formation of negative ions known as anions.

The atoms loose or gain electrons to attain stable electronic configuration.

For Example: Fluorine atom has a configuration of $1s^22s^22p^5$

This atom requires 1 electron to attain stable electronic configuration. Thus, it will gain 1 electron to form $F^-$ ion.

Hence, the correct answer is Option C.

• For 2:

Ionic bond is defined as the bond in which complete transfer of electrons takes place from one atom to another atom.

The atom which looses electron is known as electropositive atom and the atom which gains electron is known as electronegative atom.

For Example: KCl is an ionic compound which is formed with the combination of $K^+\text{ and }Cl^-$

Hence, the correct answer is Option A.
