Answer:
B
Explanation:
Non-metallic atom after ionic bonding form anions because they attract electrons toward themselves. After ionic bonding the participating atoms attain the stable electronic configuration of the nearest noble gas. So, non-metallic atom after ionic bonding form anions and becomes stable.
