Urgent plz help thanks! Which statement best describes a compound formed by an ionic bond?

A) negatively charged
B) neutral
C) contains multiple charges
D) positively charged

B. Neutral

Explanation:

When there is a ionic bond,  one element steals or takes away an electron from the other element.

An example is NaCl

In this compound, Chlorine atom steals an extra electron from Sodium to fill its outer shell. So, this is a Ionic bond. Since, the Sodium compound gives away an atom, it is positively charged. Since, Chlorine steals an atom, it is negatively charged. Opposite charges attract, so they become a compound.

When positive and negative mix, it becomes neutral.

you need to take a look at the periodic system in order to sort these elements into pairs that would most likely exhibit similar chemical properties. first, you need to find elements that are found in the same group (groups are vertical in the periodic system), and then to see whether they have the same valence number. if they meet these criteria, they will have similar properties.

the first pair: ne (neon) and kr (krypton), are noble gases found in group 8

the second pair: li (lithium) and k (potassium), found in group 1

the third pair: s (sulfur) and te (tellurium), found in group 6
