MCQ
Which combination forms strongest ionic bond
  • A
    $Ca^{+2}, Cl^-$
  • B
    $K^+, O^{-2}$
  • C
    $K^+, Cl^-$
  • $Ca^{+2}, O^{-2}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$Ca^{+2}, O^{-2}$
d
Ionic bond strength depends on two things :

$a)$ Ionic charge - the greater the product of the ionic charges. the stronger the bond.

$b)$ Ionic size - the lower the sum of the anion and cation radii, the stronger the bond.

$Ca ^{+2}$ and $O ^{-2}$ ions have smaller sizes and more charges compared to the rest. They will form a stronger ionic bond.

Therefore, the correct option is $D.$
