What does this figure depict? hydrogen bonding ionization, followed by ionic bonding nonpolar covalent bonding formation of a polar covalent bond Solution ANS: B. Ionization, followed by ionic bonding. Explanation: Ionic bonds: In this electrons are transferred from the metal atom to non-metal atom. Oppositely charged ions are formed which are held together by electro static attraction. The electrons on outside of the sodium are transferred to the chlorine molecule, so both atoms have a full outer shell and became ions..
