Video transcript

Hello everyone today we are being asked the following question which of the following defines an ionic bond. So A says the ionic bond is the attractive force between opposing charges of a carry on and an an ion, and this is actually going to be our answer. And to Tracey's B and C are not true. B is the is the definition of what's known as a co valent bond and C. Is a metallic bond. And so ionic bond, as in the name, describes ions, so acadian and an an ion specifically. And so with that we've answered the question overall. I do hope this helped. And until next time.
