Ionic bonds share atoms. An ionic bond is considered a bond where the ionic character is greater than the covalent character. Lithium has a low ionization energy and readily gives up its lone valence electron to the fluorine atom, which has a positive electron affinity and accepts the electron that was donated by the lithium atom.

What is a bond in which atoms share electrons?
Covalent bonds SHARE electrons. Ionic bonds TRANSFER electrons.
How are elements put together?
they are put together in bonds; ionic bonds which are metal to nonmetal or covalent bonds which are non metal to nonmetal. Ionic bonds transfer electrons and covalent bonds share electrons
Covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons and ionic bonds are formed when positive and negative ions bond to form an ionic compound.?
Ionic - electron transfer Covalent - electron share (co - share)
Do Ionic share or transfer electrons?
To achieve octet configuration (stable)
Do binary ionic compounds have bonds that share two valence electrons?
No. Ionic compounds are held together by ionic bonds.
What bonds involve sharing electrons?
Covalent Bonds share electrons and ionic bonds transfer electrons.
What electrons involving bonding?
Covalent Bonds share electrons and ionic bonds transfer electrons.
What are chemical bonds that share electrons between atoms?
Covalent (molecular) bonds share electrons, while ionic bonds transfer electrons.
What bonding that requires a transfer of electrons?
When a bond is formed by the transfer of electrons, it is an IONIC bond. Covalent bonds share electrons.
What is a bond in which atoms share electrons?
Covalent bonds SHARE electrons. Ionic bonds TRANSFER electrons.

Covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons and ionic bonds are formed when positive and negative ions bond to form an ionic compound.?
Ionic - electron transfer Covalent - electron share (co - share)
When atoms of two different elements share one or more pairs of electrons a ionic bond is forme?
No. Sharing of electrons means that the bond is covalent. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons.
What bond involves the gain and loss of electrons?
Ionic bonds involve an element gaining an electron and an element losing an electron.Ionic bonds differ from covalent bonds in that covalent bonds cause elements to "share" electrons, while in ionic bonds there is a distinct transfer of electrons.Ionic Bond.
What bond results from the sharing of electrons?
When thinking of bonds, always associate "sharing" with covalent (molecular) bonds. Atoms will share electrons in order to become stable, and depending on the element, will share them equally or unequally. "Transfer" refers to ionic bonds, in which electrons are given/taken.
What bonds involve sharing of electrons between atoms?
A covalent bond is a bond that involves atoms to share electrons. When the shared electrons are not shared evenly, it is called a polar bond. When electrons are shared evenly, it is called nonpolar bond. Note that the only completely nonpolar bonds are bonds between atom of the same element.
Do Ionic share or transfer electrons?
To achieve octet configuration (stable)
