Which of the following molecules exhibits ionic bonding?
A.
NaCl
B.
CO2
C.
C6H12O6
D.
H2O
The molecule that exhibits ionic bonding is:
A. NaCl
Sodium chloride (NaCl) is an example of an ionic compound, where sodium (Na) donates an electron to chlorine (Cl), resulting in the formation of positively charged sodium ions (Na⁺) and negatively charged chloride ions (Cl⁻). These ions are held together by strong electrostatic forces in an ionic bond.
