1
Q
What happens to electrons in ionic bonds?
A
In an ionic bond, e- are transferred from one atom to the other in order to create a full valence e- shell.
2
Q
What happens to electrons in nonpolar covalent bonds?
A
the bonding e- are equally shared between the two atoms.
3
Q
What happens to the electrons in polar covalent bonds?
A
one atom has a higher EN and pulls more than another atom, causing the e- to be unequally shared.
4
Q
What atoms bond in covalent bonds?
A
two nonmetals bond
5
Q

A
A nonmetal and a metal
6

7
Q
