A) B) C) D) 35. Which of the following statements are true.concerning ionic bonding? Ionic bonding occurs between a metal, which has a high affinity for electrons, and a nonmetal, which loses electrons relatively easy. 2+ CaCl₂ forms because Ca is always a more stable species than the calcium atom alone. Compounds with ionic bonds tend to have low melting points. The electronegativity difference between the bonding atoms of ionic compounds is small since the electrons are not shared but rather held together by electrostatic forces. E) All of the above statements are false. REF: 8.5 ANS: E PTS: 1 DIF: Moderate KEY: Chemistry | general chemistry | bonding | ionic bonding MSC: Conceptual
