ionic compounds tend to form between metals and nonmetals when electrons are transferred from an element with high ionization energy (metal) to an element with a low electron affinity (nonmetal). a. true b. false

Respuesta :

Answer:

Correct option :b(false)

Explanation:

ionic compound is formed when electrons are transferred from metal to non metal and electron is removed from outer shell of metal while removing the electron we have to supply energy externally which is known as ionization energy so if ionization energy is less then electron can easily come out so ionization energy of metal should be low not high.

ionic compound is formed when electron which has transferred by metal should go to the outer shell of non metal and accepting of electron depends on the electron affinity higher the electron affinity higher is the electron accepting tendency so electron affinity of non metal should be high not low .

hence given statement is false.
