The electrostatic attractions in crystalline salts, such as sodium chloride, are formed by between positive and negative ions. a) sharing electrons b) a sea of electrons c) dipole attractions d) transferring electrons

D transferring electrons because that causes electricity

Answer;

D) transferring electrons

The electrostatic attractions in crystalline salts, such as sodium chloride, are formed by transfer of electrons between positive and negative ions.

Explanation;Crystalline salts such as sodium chloride are formed as a result of ionic bonds. Ionic bonds are types of bonds that are formed between non metals and non metals as a result of transfer of electrons.Transfer of electrons occurs when one atom involved in ionic bond formation looses electrons and the other gains electrons. The result is that both atoms form ions, where one is a positively charged ion (cation) while the other is a negatively charged ion (anion). The attraction between the cation and anion results to the formation of ionic bond which results to formation of crystalline structures such as sodium chloride.
