What are the two ways in ways in which atoms form bond?

Answer 1

Covalent bonds and Ionic bonds. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between two non metals whereas Ionic bonding occurs between a metal and a non metal. In ionic bonds, the metal atom(s) loses electrons to a nonmetallic element and becomes positive, the non metal gains the electrons and becomes negative. So, the two are attracted to each other.

Answer 2

Covalent Bonding - is a form of chemical bonding that is characterized by the sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms, and other covalent bonds. In short, the attraction-to-repulsion stability that forms between atoms when they share electrons is known as covalent bonding.

Answer 3

two ways are...

-Ionic bonds--oppositely charged ions attract each other and form a strong bond. For example potassium has one electron in its outer shell, so to have a full outer shell it loses that electron...now there's more positive protons than negative electrons so potassium ions are positive. Chlorine has seven electrons in its outer shell, so it gains one to have full outer shell. There are more negative electrons than protons, so the chlorine ion is negative. Ass opposite charges attract, chlorine and potassium attract each other and form a very strong bond, forming potassium chloride.

-Colavent bonds--NON METAlS. the atoms share electrons to obtain a full outer shell. For example Carbon has 4 electrons in her outer shell, so it bonds with another Carbon atom and shares its 4 4 electrons to obtain full shell.

Answer 4

1. One atom donates an electron and the other accepts it. This creates an ionic bond.
2. Each atom provides an electron and they each share each others electron. This creates a covalent bond.

Answer 5

the atoms may combine by transfer of electrons and therefore forming the ionic bond or by sharing of electrons they form covalent bonds.

Answer 6

Attraction or repulsion.
