Which is an example of an ionic bond? Calcium gives 1 electron to chlorine to form a stable bond. Silver ions are surrounded by a large number of electrons. There are fewer than 16 valence electrons in 2 chlorine atoms, but they form a stable bond.
An example of an ionic bond would be the first option–Calcium gives 1 electron to chlorine to form a stable bond–because ionic bonds occur when a metal (calcium) and a non metal (chlorine) exchange electrons.
