The reason that it is (mostly) correct to generalize that ionic bonds will form between a metal and a nonmetal is that . A. The two types of elements have similar electronegativities.

B. The two types of elements have equal electronegativities.

C. The two types of elements have very different electronegativities.

D. None of the above

answer: enthalpy

explanation:

for a exothermic reaction, the energy is released i.e. the energy of the products is lower than the energy of the reactants.

= enthaply

= energy of products

= energy of reactants

as , thus comes out to be negative. negative value of enthalpy shows that the reaction is exothermic.

the answer is a for sure mark brainliest i had got this right on usatestprep

the answer your looking for is c).
