Yes, essentially one atom in the bond pulls on the electrons so much harder than the other, that they do share them to form the bond, but the more electronegative atom pretty much owns those electrons.

If an electron transfers from one atom to another atom what type of bond will most likely form?

If an electron transfers from one atom to another, an ionic bond is most likely to form. In an ionic bond, one atom gains an electron to become negatively charged (anion), and the other atom loses that electron to become positively charged (cation), leading to an electrostatic attraction between them.


Is potassium atom and a fluorine atom is covalent or ionic bond?

A potassium atom and a fluorine atom form an ionic bond. Potassium donates an electron to fluorine, resulting in the formation of K+ and F- ions that are attracted to each other due to their opposite charges.


A type of bond in which electrons are transferred?

An ionic bond results when there is a transfer of one or more electrons from atom to another atom.


Is Chlorine accepts 1 electron from calcium to form a stable bond an example of covalent bond?

No, this is not an example of a covalent bond. In this case, chlorine is accepting an electron from calcium to form an ionic bond, where one atom gains an electron (chlorine) and one atom loses an electron (calcium). Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms.

An atom with one electron in its outer orbit would form which type of bond?

An atom with one electron in its outer orbit would likely form an ionic bond by losing that electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. This results in the formation of a positively charged ion.
