Which statement is true regarding the formation of ionic bonds? a. anions and cations share electrons
b. atoms transfer electrons to form cations and anions
c. ions transfer electrons to form cations and anions
d. anions and cations donate electrons

C. Ions transfer electrons to form cations and anions

Explanation:

In an ionic bond, two ions are attracted to each other because of a big electronegativity difference (they have opposite charges)

One of the ions will transfer its electron to the other one, and they will become cations or anions.

explanation:

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
