Which of the following statements about material bonding is correct? C O a. Ionic bonds are formed by the sharing of valence electrons among two or more atoms b. Van der Waals bonds are formed by Van der Waals forces in which molecules or atoms have either an induced or permanent dipole moment to attract each other C c. Metallic elements with metallic bonds have atoms that donate valence electrons to other atoms, thus filling the outer energy shells of these other atoms d. Covalent bonds are formed by atoms that donate their valence electrons to form a "sea" of electrons surrounding the atoms

    Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

    Explanation:

    In material bonding, there occurs Vander waal foces between the molecules in which their is either an induced or permanent dipole moment that attract molecules towards each other.

    And, due to these forces the molecules are held together.

    On the other hand, in a ionic bond there will always be transfer of electrons from one atom to another. This is because on atom which loses its valence electrons acquires a positive charge and another atom which gains the electrons acquires a negative charge.

    Hence, these opposite charges strongly gets attracted towards each other forming a strong bond.

    Whereas in a covalent bond, there will be sharing of electrons between the combining atoms.

    In a metallic bond, there occurs a sea of electrons which is uniformly distributed throughout the solid substance or material.

    Thus, we can conclude that the statement, Van der Waals bonds are formed by Van der Waals forces in which molecules or atoms have either an induced or permanent dipole moment to attract each other, about material bonding is correct.
