Question

Chemical Bonds, Periodic Table, Atoms

Answer 1

Which is most likely to be part of an ionic bond?
A) an atom with no valence electrons
B) an atom with one valence electrons
C) an atom with two valence electrons
D) an atom with Three valence electrons

Answer 2

The answer is B
Ionic Bonding is observed because metals have few electrons in its outer-most orbital. By losing those electrons, these metals can achieve noble-gas configuration and satisfy the octet rule. Similarly, nonmetals that have close to 8 electrons in its valence shell tend to readily accept electrons to achieve its noble gas configuration. In ionic bonding, more than 1 electron can be donated or received to satisfy the octet rule. The charge on the anion and cation corresponds to the number of electrons donated or received. In ionic bonds, the net charge of the compound must be zero

Answer 3

an atom with one valence electron tends to lose it easily during a reaction
