When s and p element react the bond form is called what

Chemistry

ScanSolve AI Answer

When an s-block element (like alkali metals or alkaline earth metals) reacts with a p-block element (like halogens or oxygen), the bond formed is typically an ionic bond. This occurs because s-block elements tend to lose electrons easily to form positive ions (cations), while many p-block elements tend to gain electrons to form negative ions (anions). The electrostatic attraction between these oppositely charged ions constitutes the ionic bond.
