"Which will Na⁺ ions form ionic bonds with?"

 

Question:
"Which will Na⁺ ions form ionic bonds with?"

1. NH₃⁺

2. O⁻

🔍 What are Ionic Bonds?

Ionic bonds form between oppositely charged ions:

• Positive ions (like Na⁺) are attracted to negative ions.

---

🧪 The Choices:

1. NH₃⁺ → This is positively charged

2. O⁻ → This is negatively charged

---

💡 Key Point:

• Since Na⁺ is also positive, it will not bond with NH₃⁺ (because like charges repel).

• Na⁺ will be attracted to O⁻, which is negative.

✅ Correct Answer:

2) O⁻
