What is a bond between a positive and negative ion called?
a) polar bond
b) ionic bond
c) covalent bond
d) metallic bond

Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

An ionic bond is defined as the bond formed due to transfer of electron(s) from one atom to another.  

An ionic bond will always be formed between a metal and a non-metal.

For example, sodium metal on donating its one valence electron to chlorine atom will lead to the formation of NaCl compound.

This is because an atom which loses its valence electrons (metals) acquires a positive charge and another atom which gains the electrons (non-metals) 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.

For example, an molecule is formed due to sharing of electrons between the two oxygen atoms.

Thus, we can conclude that a bond between a positive and negative ion called an ionic bond.

- both b and d.

-since b and d are the closest coastlines then that makes it the most affected.

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.
