Which of these pairs would form an ionic bond?

Answer
A
K and Br
B
C and H
C
H and O
D
Cu and Cu

Explanation

Ionic bonds usually form between a metal and a nonmetal, when electrons transfer from one atom to the other. Potassium (K) is a metal and bromine (Br) is a nonmetal, so they form the ionic compound KBr. Carbon and hydrogen, hydrogen and oxygen, and two copper atoms form covalent or metallic bonds instead.
