Ionic bonding---with such different electronegativities it would be hard for lithium and fluorine to share electrons in a covalent bond. It is far more energetically favorable for the lithium atom to transfer an electron to fluorine to form Li+ and F- and then have those two hook up to form an ionic bond.

What type of bonding would be expected between H and H atoms?
single bond
What type of bond would be expected between atoms Cu and S?
Covalent bond between the two as the electronegativity difference between Cu ans S is below 1.7
Why isn't the electron inside the neutron?
If it were there could be no bonding between atoms because bonding is a result of transfering or sharing of electrons by atoms; besides quarks are already present inside a neutrons; if electrons were present inside a neutron they would repel each other, so there would need to be a force that keeps them together. There is a force that holds the nucleus together called the strong interaction mediated by gluons which wouldn't interact with electrons so the neutrons would be unstable.
What is the molecular structure of iron?
The properties of metals are determined by their structure. Metals usually have the atoms arranged closely together in a compact form. It is this compactness that gives metals the different qualities such as strength, i.e. the atoms are bonded together very strongly. Weak bonds would make for weak structures. Basically, all metals have a compact arrangement of atoms, ensuring there is minimal space between them. While the strong bonding explains the strength that metals possess, how does one explain the other properties of metals, such as malleability, ductility, conductivity, etc? The fact that metals have these properties suggest a delocalized nature of bonding. The delocalized nature, complemented by the strong bonding is what gives metals their various properties. Basically, bonding in metals happen between atoms of low electronegativity, which means that there is not too strong an attraction between the valence electrons of the metal atom. The valence electrons are the outermost electrons among all in the atom, and since these have low attractively, they can be shared with the other atoms around them, thereby strengthening the bonds between the atoms themselves. Metallic bonding differs from other kinds of bonding in this respect - the valence electrons can be shared and are therefore considered free-form
How many atoms can fit in 1 shell?
The question is vague, as shell can mean valence shell or inner shells that can also fit atoms via 'sharing' for transition metals, however, the number of atoms that can fit would determine on the number of electrons and vacant spots available for sharing on the outermost electronic shell. (Assume the question in mind is for covalent bonding; does not apply to ionic bonding.)
What type of bonding would be expected between H and H atoms?
single bond
This formula is a diagram showing the bonding between atoms?
The formula that is a diagram showing the bonding between atoms is called the structural formula. An example of structural formula would be for acetone OC(CH3)2.
What type of bonding would be expected between Br and I?
Ionic bond The correct answer would be a polar covalent bond.
What kind of bonding would take place between silver and bromine atoms?
An ionic bond
What is the difference between intra-molecular bonding and inter-molecular interaction?
Intermolecular is the bonding between the molecules (what connects them all together) For example dispersion, dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonding (HFON)Intramolecular is the bonding between the atoms like ionic covalent or metallic.For example in a water molecule the intermolecular bonding would be the hydrogen bonding. The non-bonding pairs will connect with other water molecules non-bonding pairs to create a hydrogen bond. Whereas the intramolecular bonding would be covalent. Because that's what joins the individual hydrogen atoms to one oxygen atom.
What are inter and intra molecular bond?
Intra-molecular bonding ocuurs between atoms of the single large molecule ,where the inter-molecular bonding occurs between molecules ..
What statement best describes metallic bonding?
electrons are free to move among many atoms
What type of bond would be expected between atoms Cu and S?
Covalent bond between the two as the electronegativity difference between Cu ans S is below 1.7
A fatty acid which has all possible hydrogen atoms bonding to each carbon atom would be?
Lipids
What is a covalently bonded diatomic molecules?
Diatomic molecules have covalent bonds since it is a bond between two non-metal atoms. This bonding of atoms are weak, therefore they react easily.
What is the role of chemical bonding in Sustaining Life?
if there is no bonding, we would have no water to drink, no oceans, no rivers, means no seasons, no fancy laptops, or carbon fibre cars, and even no oxygen in the air because oxygen atoms are 2 atoms joined covalently, as for ionic bonding, it helps your sense of feeling the flavour of the food on your tongue for example. this means: NO CHEMICAL BONDING=NO LIFE.
What type of bond forms when two atoms of nitrogen going to form a nitrogen molecule when two atoms of oxygen join form on oxygen?
Nitrogen and Oxygen being both nonmetals, they would form a covalent bond between the two.
