An atom of sodium loses one electron and chlorine atom accepts one electron. This result the formation of sodium chloride molecule. This type of molecule will be [MP PMT 1987] (a) Coordinate (b) Covalent (c) Electrovalent (d) Matallic bond
Correct option is C) Ionic bonds also called electrovalent bond form when atoms transfer electrons between each other, forming ions that are electrically attracted to each other forming a bond between them. Sodium chloride (NaCl) is a typical ionic compound. Hence, Option C is a correct answer.
