When two atoms combine by transferring electrons, it is a(n) _____ bond.
It is a covalent bond.
No, a covalent bond is formed when two atoms share electrons. If electrons are transferred between atoms, an ionic bond is formed instead.
chemical bond
When metals are in their elemental form they have what is called metallic bonding. In metallic bonding the valence electrons from the atoms are not associated with a single atom but are shared in a common "electron pool." The electrons are said to be delocalized throughout the metal.
A covalent bond is formed when two oxygen atoms combine to form molecular oxygen. In this bond, the atoms share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
When two atoms combine by transferring electrons, it is a(n) _____ bond.
