Answer to Problem AM

Compounds formed by an electron transfer process are called ionic compounds.

Explanation of Solution

The compounds formed by transfer of electrons between two or more atoms are called ionic compounds. The atom having one or more electrons more than the noble configuration in their valence shell lose extra electrons and the other atom having one or more electrons less than noble gas configuration gain that extra electrons meaning a transfer of electron from one atom to other occur such that each of them gains noble gas configuration and form bond. The bond formed is called an ionic bond and the compound formed is called an ionic compound.

The compound formed is called an ionic compound because gain or loss of electrons results in the formation of the ions, cation or anion. For example, NaCl and KCl .

Conclusion:

Therefore, the word ionic compounds can be picked from the given list.
