Answer 2

what do u think??

Answer 3

its simple
Ionic bond= complete transfer of electrons.
Covalent bond= sharing of electrons.
Hydrogen= its a chemical element having atomic number 1..

Answer 5

Thank you !

Answer 6

lets take an example of ionic bond: Sodium (2,8,1) has 1 electron more than a stable noble gas structure (2,8). If it gave away that electron it would become more stable.

Chlorine (2,8,7) has 1 electron short of a stable noble gas structure (2,8,8). If it could gain an electron from somewhere it too would become more stable.

The answer is obvious. If a sodium atom gives an electron to a chlorine atom, both become more stable.

The sodium has lost an electron, so it no longer has equal numbers of electrons and protons. Because it has one more proton than electron, it has a charge of 1+. If electrons are lost from an atom, positive ions are formed.
Positive ions are sometimes called cations.
The chlorine has gained an electron, so it now has one more electron than proton. It therefore has a charge of 1-. If electrons are gained by an atom, negative ions are formed.
A negative ion is sometimes called an anion.
Covalent- is the sharing of electron between two atoms to achieve a noble gas electronic structure.
The hydrogen is attached directly to one of the most electronegative elements, causing the hydrogen to acquire a significant amount of positive charge.
Each of the elements to which the hydrogen is attached is not only significantly negative, but also has at least one "active" lone pair.
