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.

OpenStudy (imtiaz7):

first tell me the difference between the outer orbital electrons and valance elctrons

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Um...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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.

OpenStudy (imtiaz7):

C is correct answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Really? Yay! :)

OpenStudy (imtiaz7):

yes because in covalent bond there is always the sharing of valance electrons and in ionic bond there is transference of valance elctrons

^_^

OpenStudy (imtiaz7):

:) do you understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. :)
