In many simplistic cases, an anion will fill its outer shell by accepting electrons. This balances the anion because it satisfies the octet rule for the anion, and in the correct stochiometry so too does it balance the octet rule for the cation.

∙ 9y agoSince nonmetals often have similar electronegativities, unlike metals bonding with nonmetals, they form covalent bonds, allowing them to share electrons with their outermost (valence) shells. -wrong

Shell are used for bonding. Elements in group 0 the noble gases all have all have completely full outer electrons shells, these atoms are all ready stable so they don't form chemical bonds and only exist as single atoms. All other atoms do form chemical bonds by either transferring electrons or sharing electrons to get a full outer shell which are made up of normally 8 electrons.

∙ 10y agoWhen nonmetals bond to each other, as two oxygen atoms do in order to form an oxygen molecule (O2) that is a covalent bond. Electrons are shared.

What is form by the chemical bonding of two or more atoms?
molecule
Do metals bond with non metals?
yes they can this is an ionic bond
What type of bond involves a metal and a non-metal?
it must be a covalent bond because metals and non metals form ionic bond
What happens when two or more atoms come together?
They fuse together.
What ions are in an ionic bond and who do they came from?
Positive and negative ions are in ionic bond. They come from metals and non-metals
When sulfur and fluorine bond what kind of bond is this?
the bond is covalent two non metals bonding with each other create a covalent bond
What pair of atoms will form ionic bond?
A metal tends to form an ionic bond with a non-metal. Metals bonding with other metals form a metallic bond, and non-metals bonding with other non-metals form a covalent bond.
What type of bond do non metals form with other non metals?
Covalent :)
What pair of atoms will form an ionic bond?
A metal tends to form an ionic bond with a non-metal. Metals bonding with other metals form a metallic bond, and non-metals bonding with other non-metals form a covalent bond.
What is form by the chemical bonding of two or more atoms?
molecule
How do you know if a bond is ionic or convalent?
An Ionic bond is metals bonding to non-metals. A Covalent bond is non-metals bonding to non-metals.
Do metals bond with non metals?
yes they can this is an ionic bond
Are Non-metals are very likely to form ionic bonds with other non-metals?
Yes, it is very likely that non metals will form an ionic bond with other non metals. This occurs through chemical bonds that are created by electrostatic attraction.
What type of bond involves a metal and a non-metal?
it must be a covalent bond because metals and non metals form ionic bond
What is a characteristic of nonmetal a?
One characteristic of non-metals is that they are generally gaseous at room temperature. Non-metals will also typically bond with metals easily.
What element is most likely to form covalent bonding?
Me and your mum because we share a bond.
What forms between metals and non metals?
These are the properties of metals and non metals: Metals: Have a tendency to donate free electrons. Displace hydrogen gas from dilute acids React with oxygen to produce basic oxides React with hydrogen to produce Hydrides Metals are solids Non-metals: Have a tendency to receive electrons. Non metals maybe solids,liquids or gases Non metals are not malleable Non metals are not ductile
