The electron dot diagram shows bonding by a 'cross' (x) as the electron of the other atom. Therefore shows bonding. Either ionic or covalent. In covalent it shows within atoms and in ionic the electrons are separate as it is transferred and not shared.

What happens to electron in ionic bonds?
In ionic bonding, the metal loses the electron forming the cation and the non metal gains that electron forming the anion
In ionic bonding the metal donates its valence electron to the?
The metal gives its electron(s) to a nonmetal.
Why are halogens typically involved in ionic bonding?
halogens have high electron affinity, form ions easily, hence are involved in ionic bonding with suitable cations.
What is the bonding in a metal such as potassium?
Potassium loses its one valence electron to form a cation with a +1 charge. This will allow it bond easily with non-metal anions to form an ionic compound with an ionic bond.
What part of an atom is important in bonding?
The part of the atom that is used in bonding is the electron. More specifically, valance electrons which are the outer shell of the electron.
What is the similarities of an ionic bond and an covalent bond?
In ionic bonding electron are transfer whereas in covalent bonding their is sharing of electron
What type of bonding has electron moving freely in the electron sea?
Ionic bonds
What happens to electron in ionic bonds?
In ionic bonding, the metal loses the electron forming the cation and the non metal gains that electron forming the anion
What is happening with the electrons in ionic bonding?
In ionic bonding the electron rich species donates electron to the electron lacking species.in this process the electron donating species converts into cation by loosing electron and electron accepting species converts into anion by accepting electron.the ions now combine to from a ionic compound by releasing lattice energy
In ionic bonding the metal donates its valence electron to the?
The metal gives its electron(s) to a nonmetal.
Why are halogens typically involved in ionic bonding?
halogens have high electron affinity, form ions easily, hence are involved in ionic bonding with suitable cations.
How do electrons shells affect the ability of elements to bond?
The external electron shell is responsible for the formation of chemical bonds.
When sodium loses an electron and chlorine gains one what interaction forms?
Ionic Bonding
What is the bonding in a metal such as potassium?
Potassium loses its one valence electron to form a cation with a +1 charge. This will allow it bond easily with non-metal anions to form an ionic compound with an ionic bond.
What part of an atom is important in bonding?
The part of the atom that is used in bonding is the electron. More specifically, valance electrons which are the outer shell of the electron.
In ionic bonding an atom with 1 valence eelectron like sodium will do what to form an ionic bond?
give away its one valence electron
How does ionic bonding occur in sodium flouride?
An electron is transferred from sodium to fluorine. to form Na+ and F-
