When a bond is formed using electrons from two different atoms?
This can be either an ionic bond forming an ionic compound, or a covalent bond, forming a molecular compound. Ionic bonds form when electrons are transferred from one atom to another, and covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between atoms.
Atoms of metallic elements can form ionic bonds but they are not very good at forming covalent bonds why?
they have a great tendency to lose electrons
Atoms of metallic elements can form ionic bonds but they are not very good at forming covalent bonds. Why?
they have a great tendency to lose electrons
What do atoms forming ionic and covalent bonds have in common?
The proton number within the nucleus remains the same.
Are ionic bonds non polar?
No. Ionic bonds are ionic, in which the difference of electronegativities between the atoms forming the bond are greater than 1.7. Nonpolar bonds are covalent bonds in which the difference of electronegativities of the atoms forming the bond is less than 0.5.
How do valence electrons of atoms behave when forming an ionic bond?
Electrons are transferred when ionic bonds are formed.

Do chemical bonds share atoms?
No. However, covalent bonds share electrons between two atoms. In an ionic bond, electrons are either gained or lost forming ions.
How do ionic and covalent bonds lead to forming compounds?
Compounds are formed by the combination of atoms with bonds. These bonds are formed by the sharing of valence unpaired electrons of both bonded atoms or by the transfer of electrons . This form covalent or ionic bond and compounds are formed.
Why does sulfur gain electrons when forming ionic bonds?
because nonmetals gain electrons in ionic bonds and metals lose electrons in ionic bonds(oxidize).

What do atoms forming ionic and covalent bonds have in common?
The proton number within the nucleus remains the same.
How can atoms combine with other atoms?
By sharing electrons in covalent bonds or by transferring electrons in ionic bonds
What bonds are formed when atoms exchanged electrons?
ionic bonds!
Are ionic bonds non polar?
No. Ionic bonds are ionic, in which the difference of electronegativities between the atoms forming the bond are greater than 1.7. Nonpolar bonds are covalent bonds in which the difference of electronegativities of the atoms forming the bond is less than 0.5.
Is it true that in a covalent bond atoms share electrons?
False
