Mostly ionic compounds are produced between elements of group:
Correct answer: C. IA, llA and VII A
- A. IA and IIA
- B. IB and VIIB
- C. IA, llA and VII A
- D. IA and IB
Explanation
In ionic compounds, one element donates electrons (typically a metal or an element with low electronegativity), becoming a positively charged cation, while the other element accepts those electrons (typically a non-metal or an element with high electronegativity), becoming a negatively charged anion. The resulting electrostatic attraction between the cations and anions holds the compound together in a lattice structure. So, ionic compounds are indeed commonly produced when elements from Group IA, IIA, and VIIA are involved in chemical reactions due to the significant electronegativity differences between these groups of elements.

About Chemical Bonding
Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.
