Answer:

C. Involves a metal and a nonmetal.

Explanation:

Ionic compound involves a metal and a non-metal. Ionic compounds have electrovalent bonds between them.

These compounds are usually made up of metals and non - metals combining to form a unit.

  • The metals usually has low electronegativity and transfers it electrons to the non - metal.
  • The non-metal has high affinity for the electron.
  • The electrostatic attraction between the ions formed results in the ionic bond.
