Atoms form two types of bonds. Which describes these bonds? A. In a covalent bond, outer electron orbitals are shared; in an ionic bond, outer electron orbitals are transferred. B. In a covalent bond, outer electron orbitals are transferred; in an ionic bond, outer electron orbitals are shared. C. In a covalent bond, valence electrons are shared; in an ionic bond, valence electrons are transferred. D. In a covalent bond, valence electrons are transferred; in an ionic bond, valence electrons are shared. @Imtiaz7
My answer is C.
first tell me the difference between the outer orbital electrons and valance elctrons
Um...
The valence electrons are the electrons in the outer shell of an atom. And I would guess that the other one is the electrons the orbit the atom.
C is correct answer
Really? Yay! :)
yes because in covalent bond there is always the sharing of valance electrons and in ionic bond there is transference of valance elctrons

:) do you understand
Yes. :)
