What are two ways in which valence electron move between atoms?
They are either transferred or shared. In ionic bonds, electrons are transferred, and shared in covalent bonds.
What two posibilities happen to valence electrons when a chemical bond is formed?
They can either be shared (covalent bond) or transferred (ionic bond)
How do valence electrons of atoms behave when forming an ionic bond?
Electrons are transferred when ionic bonds are formed.
What is determined by weather or not electrons are shared or transferred between two atoms?
the ionic or covalent nature of the bond. if it is shared it is covalent, if it is transferred it is ionic
What is valence electrons shared between atoms?
In a covalent bond electrons are shared between two electrons.

What happends to valence electrons in an ionic bond?
In bonds between metals and non- metals thety are transferred rather than shared

In a covalent bond electrons are shared between two electrons.
Are electrons shared or transfered between a ionic bond?
To form ionic bonds, electrons are transferred from one atom to another.
Is chemical bond and valence electron similar?
No, they arent. Valence electrons are the amount of electrons the element has in its outermost shell. Electrons dont bond, they can either be shared or transferred. An ionic bond transfers electrons and a covalent bond shares electrons.
Is a covalent bond stronger than a ionic bond?
No, Covalent bonds are when valence electrons are shared between atoms in a compound whereas Ionic is a much stronger bond because the electrons are transferred from one atom to another creating ions which bond to each other
Why tin fluoride is ionic while tin chloride is covalent?
An ionic bond is where electrons are transferred from one to the other, but a covalent bond is where the electrons are 'shared'.
Is HF molecular or ionic?
HF is molecular (aka covalent) because it is a bond between two nonmetals in which electrons are shared. In the HF bond, Fluorine has six valence electrons and shares two electrons with Hydrogen. Hydrogen only has these two electrons because it only has a max of two electrons on its outer valence shell. Fluorine has an electronegativity of 4.0 (the highest on the Periodic Table), which is greater than Hydrogen's 2.2, so therefore Fluorine would be considered slightly negative in the bond, and Hydrogen would be slightly positive.It is not ionic because in an ionic bond, electrons are not shared, they are transferred.
Can a bond be a covalent and ionic bond?
No. A bond cannot be both covalent and ionic. A bond can be covalent, ionic or metallic. In covalent bonding electrons are shared, electrons are transferred in ionic bonding and electrons move about in a sea of electrons in metallic bonds.
