Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A bond formed when one atom loses an electron and another atom accepts that electron is called an ionic bond. An ion is an atom or molecule that has an unequal number of protons and electrons, resulting in a net electrical charge. However, the process described in the question involves the formation of a bond, which is a chemical attraction between two atoms, rather than the formation of an ion itself. The other answer choices are not applicable to the process described in the question.
