OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

Hold on.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ionic bonds form between a metal and a non-metal options ?

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

An atom with no valence electrons. An atom with one valence electron. An atom with two valence electrons An atom with three valence electrons.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

probably option 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sodium chloride... how many valence electrons in sodium?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It would be the second option because it can just lose that electron by giving it someone other electron and become balanced

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

I don't know.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

give it to some other element which need one electron*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

easier to shed one to be "electron shell-balanced" than 2 or 3 or more.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so yea the second option

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which column is sodium in?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
