Ionic bonds form because A. Two ions of the same charge are attracted to each other
B. Two ions of different charges are attracted to each other
C. Two atoms share their electrons
D. Two or more atoms share protons

Consider the following multistep reaction: a b→ab(slow) a ab→a2b(fast)−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−− 2a b→a2b(overall) based on this mechanism, determine the rate law for the overall reaction. express your answer in standard masteringchemistry format. for example, if the rate law is k[a]3[b]2 type k*[a]^3*[b]^2
