Which statement is incorrect regarding a chemical bond?

Explanation

Bonding tends to take place between the outermost electrons of an atom (or outermost shell). As you increase the atomic size, the electrons that make up an atom begin to fill up higher electron orbitals. These orbitals, which then take place in bonding, are physically further away from the nucleus and thus experience less attraction to it (based on Columb's law). That is the reason why D is an incorrect statement and thus the answer. A is true as the overlapping of half-filled orbitals occurs in covalent bonding; a type of chemical bond. B is true as it occurs in the formation of ionic bonds. C is also true as the s orbital is the smallest orbital because of which the distance between outermost electrons and the positively charged nucleus is small, rendering a stronger attractive force.
