b.atoms transfer electrons to form cations and anions
c.ions transfer electrons to form cations and anions
d.anions and cations donate electrons

Respuesta :

Answer:

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.
