Ionic bonds easily form when electron when ionization energy of the metallic atom is _____ comparatively.(a) negative(b) constant(c) more(d) lessI had been asked this question in homework.This is a very interesting question from Ionic or Electrovalent Bond topic in portion Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

The correct answer is (d) less

To explain I WOULD say: The rate of formation of an ionic bond MAINLY depends on the tendency to become CATION and anion from their original ground states. The tendency is maximum for metallic atoms WHOSE ionization energy is less than the other atoms.
