An element with one electron in its outermost shell will generally form ____ bond.
|
|
Ionic
|
|
|
Metallic
|
|
|
Covalent
|
|
|
None of the above
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Therefore, two elements that has one electron in its outermost shell are Lithium and Sodium.
Detailed explanation-2: -An ionic bond can form between two elements when one has a small number of electrons in the valence shell (metal) and one has an almost full outer shell (non-metal). Atoms are more likely to accept electrons if they have an almost full outer shell (elements on the right of the periodic table).
Detailed explanation-3: -An ionic bond can be formed after two or more atoms loss or gain electrons to form an ion. Ionic bonds occur between metals, losing electrons, and nonmetals, gaining electrons. Ions with opposite charges will attract one another creating an ionic bond.
