Which of the following pairs will form the most stable ionic bond?
Options
- ANa and Cl
- BMg and F
- CLi and F
- DNa and F
Correct answer
B. Mg and F
Step-by-step solution
The stability of the ionic bond depends upon the lattice energy which is expected to be more between Mg and F due to +2 charge on Mg atom.
