In ionic bonds what happens to electrons

A: nonmetals donate electrons to metals

B: nonmetals share electrons

C: metals donate electrons to non metals

Answer : The correct option is, (C) metals donate electrons to non metals

Explanation:

Covalent compound : Covalent compounds are the compound in which the atoms are covalently bonded. The covalent bonds are formed by the equal sharing of the electrons and these bonds are formed between two non-metals.

Ionic compound : Ionic compounds are the compound in which atoms are bonded through the ionic bond. The ionic bonds are formed by the complete transfer of electrons. That means the bond is formed when the metals donate electrons to the non-metals.

These bonds are formed between one metal and one non-metal.

Hence, the correct option is, (C) metals donate electrons to non metals

C: metals donate electrons to non metals
