Which statement correctly describes ionic bonds? Multiple Choice An ionic bond only forms between two atoms of the same element. Ionic bonds usually form between electrically neutral, stable atoms. An ionic bond is the electrostatic force that holds ions together when they form bonds. All of the answer choices are correct.

Answer:

An ionic bond is the electrostatic force that holds ions together when they form bonds

Explanation:

An ionic bond is formed when a metal looses electron(s) to a non metal leading to the formation of a positive ion and a negative ion.

An ionic compound is actually an ion pair, the ions are held together by strong electrostatic forces.

This strong electrostatic force that holds the ion pair together in ionic compounds is what we commonly call the IONIC BOND.
