Which of the following is exchanged between two or more atoms that undergo ionic bonding?

A. Neutrons

B. Transitory electrons

C. Valence electrons

D. Electrical charges

Answer Explanation:

An ionic bond forms when one atom donates an electron from its outer shell, called a valence electron, to another atom to form two oppositely charged atoms.

Therefore, the Correct Answer is C.

  • Q #1: Which of the following molecules exhibits ionic bonding?

    A. NaCl

    B. CO2

    C. C6H12O6

    D. H2O

    Answer Explanation

    Sodium chloride exhibits lonic bonding due to the attraction between Na+ ions and Cl- ions.

    Typically, elements on the opposite sides of the periodic table (a metal and a nonmetal) form ionic bonds. Carbon dioxide, water, and glucose exhibit covalent bonding. Typically, elements on the same side of the periodic table (two or more nonmetals) form covalent bonds.

  • Q #2: What is the name for the physical presentation of an organism's genes?

    A. Phenotype

    B. Species

    C. Phylum

    D. Genotype

    Answer Explanation

    Phenotype is the physical presentation of an organism's genes. In other words, the phenotype is the physical characteristics of the organism. Phenotype is often contrasted with genotype, the genetic makeup of an organism. The genotype of the organism is not visible in its presentation, although some of the characteristics encoded in the genes have to do with physical presentation. A phylum is a group of classes that are closely related. A species is a group of like organisms that are capable of breeding together and producing similar offspring.
