A) low electron affinity, high ionisation energy
B) high electron affinity, low ionisation energy
C) low electron affinity, low ionisation energy
D) high electron affinity, high ionisation energy
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
Key Idea: An ionic bond is formed between a electropositive metal and electronegative non metal. Metal forms cation and non metal form anion. \[\therefore \] The formation of ionic bond is formed by (i) Low ionisation potential of metal. (ii) Greater value of electron affinity of non-metal. (iii) Higher value of lattice energy of resulting ionic compound.
