Chemistry
The formation of electrovalent bond is an example of:
- Oxidation reaction
- Reduction reaction
- Displacement reaction
- Redox reaction
Answer
Redox reaction
Reason — In the formation of an electrovalent bond, the transfer of electron(s) is involved. The electropositive atom loses electrons and undergoes oxidation, while the electronegative atom gains electrons and undergoes reduction. This is known as redox reaction.
