In this question we have to select which statement is correct for covalent bonding.
00:09
So we will go with the one by one option.
00:13
Option a represents ionic bond.
00:18
Ionic bond is the electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions.
00:28
One atom gains electron and other atom loses the electron.
00:40
For example, bonding in nacl.
00:46
Nacl is an ionic bond.
00:48
Here electrostatic attraction are present between sodium ion and chloride ion.
01:07
Here sodium ion is formed by losing of electron and chloride ion is formed by gaining of one electron.
01:25
Therefore, we can say that option a corresponds to the formation of ionic bond.
01:33
So it is not correct answer.
01:42
And option b, it represents metallic bond.
01:48
Metallic bond is a bond where atom pulls their electrons and form a sea of electrons and metal ions are present in this sea of electrons...
