Respuesta :

Answer:

Option c. is correct

Explanation:

A chemical bond enables the formation of chemical compounds depending on the nature of the participating atoms like atoms, ions or molecules.

These are formed as a result of the force of attraction between oppositely charged ions.

It is formed by the overlapping of the atomic orbitals of the two atoms.

When the length of a chemical bond is short an electron is held tighter and the bond is stronger
