Q. The type of bond involved in the formation of sodium chloride, is

A) Ester bond
B) Peptide bond
C) Ionic bond
D) Covalent bond
Explanation

Sodium chloride is formed by bonding between positively charged sodium ions $(Na^{+})$ and negatively charged chloride ions$(Cl^{-})$. The type of bonding between these ions is ionic bonding as ionic bonds are formed by the electrical attractions between ions bearing opposite charges ($eg.$,$Na^{+}\ and\ Cl^{-})$.
