How does Lewis theory explain the loss or gain of electrons in an ionic bond?

A) Atoms are attempting to gain electrons.
B) Atoms are attempting to lose electrons.
C) Atoms are attempting to share valence electrons.
D) Atoms are attempting to achieve a noble gas electron configuration.

Ionic Bond

A chemical bond formed through the electrical force between oppositely charged ions.

Lewis Theory

A theory in chemistry that explains chemical bonding by electron pair sharing and transfer between atoms, aiming for a stable octet arrangement.

Noble Gas

Any of the inert gas elements located in the rightmost column of the periodic table, characterized by their lack of chemical reactivity.
