it's either an ion or a molecule.
The correct answer is, Covalent Bond.

How many electrons are in the nucleus of the atom of polominium?
Polonium's atomic number is 84. That means it has 84 protons and 84 electrons. However, none of these electrons are found in the nucleus, but rather outside of it in what is called the electron cloud.
Charge carriers in a metal are electrons rather than protons because electrons are?
loosley bound.
How is isotopes related to number of electrons?
An isotope is not really related to the number of electrons, but rather it is determined by the number of neutrons.
What is group 18 in the periodic table called and why?
These are the "noble gases." They are chemically inert, because they have a full octet of electrons in their valence energy level. Therefore, they do not need to lose or gain electrons to achieve stability; rather, they are naturally stable, which is why they do not react.
Explain why metals are good conductor of heat?
Metals are especially good at conducting heat because they have electrons in. These are called delocalised electrons which are free moving electrons. Therefore when they gain kinetic energy (heat) they vibrate quicker and can then move around. This means that they can pass on the kinetic energy (heat) more quickly.
Why does the transfer of electrons from glucose to oxygen during aerobic respiration takes place in a stepwise fashion through a number of intermediates rather than by direct transfer?
the energy of the electrons can be used to make ATP
Does CaCl2 share electrons?
CaCl2 is ionically bonded because it contains one metal and one non-metal. In ionic bonds, atoms transfer electrons rather than share them.
Why do electrons stay mostly between the two nuclei?
In a chemical bond, electrons reside between the two nuclei rather than inside the nucleus, because the nuclei have protons (positive charges) that repel the electrons.
What is the Predominant type of bonding for titanium?
There are several possible bonds. Large differences in electro negativity favor ionic bonding, formed by transfer of valence electrons between two different atoms. The covalent bonds are formed by sharing of electrons, rather than transferring them. The metallic bond, the electrons are delocalized, essentially they are able to move essentially free throughout the structure. The bonding occurs by electrostatic attraction between the electrons and the positive metal ions. :)
Why nonmetals do not have free electrons which conduct electrical energy?
Because the outer shells are very close to the nucleus and the number of electrons in the outer shells are between 4-8. Therefore, they are not freed from the nucleus easily rather they look for some more electrons to fill its outer shell which is technically called as covalent bond.
What is it called when atoms are bounded together by sharing electrons rather than by electrical attraction?
This is known as a "covalent bond," since the atoms share a pair of valence electrons.
Why doesn't static electricity cause ionic bonding?
I am pretty sure that static electricity doesn't cause ionic bonding, as it is only the hold of electricity in one area. The transfer of the electrons to other elements does not cause ionic bonding, as the electrons are transferred, rather than chemically combined. With this fact, every static electricity transfer plainly transfers electrons, while Ionic bonding, such as NaCl, combines AND transfers them.
In forming a chemical compound does an atom of an element gain or lose electrons?
Electrons are both gained and lost in the formation of an ionic compound. The metal atom loses one or more electrons to the nonmetal with which it bonds. So the metal atom becomes a positively charged ion and the nonmetal atom becomes a negatively charged ion, and the ionic bond is formed by the electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions, forming the ionic compound.
What happends to valence electrons in an ionic bond?
In bonds between metals and non- metals thety are transferred rather than shared
Do Covalent bonds do not gain or lose electrons?
Covalent bonds do not gain or lose electrons, but rather share electrons.

Polonium's atomic number is 84. That means it has 84 protons and 84 electrons. However, none of these electrons are found in the nucleus, but rather outside of it in what is called the electron cloud.
Is it true that Covalent bonds do not gain or lose electrons but rather share electrons?
yes
