Which among the following is not a property of Ionic bond _________?
Correct answer: A. Sharing of electrons
- A. Sharing of electrons
- B. Transfer of electrons
- C. Losing of electrons
- D. Gain of electrons
Explanation
An ionic bond forms when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, producing oppositely charged ions that attract each other. Sharing of electrons is the defining feature of a covalent bond, not an ionic bond. Students may choose losing or gaining electrons, but these are parts of the transfer process that produces ions.

About Ionic and Molecular Crystals
Ionic crystals contain oppositely charged ions held by electrostatic forces, whereas molecular crystals contain discrete molecules joined by weaker intermolecular forces. Their structures explain differences in melting point, hardness, volatility, solubility and electrical conductivity, especially between solid and molten states.
