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.
When two atoms combine by transferring electrons, it is a(n) _____ bond.
No, It would be an ionic bond. For Covalent is the sharing of atoms, ionic is transferring.
It is a covalent bond.
They can combine in lots of ways. Some reactive elements will combine on their own but others need heating to combine. Noble gases (krypton, argon, xenon, helium, neon and radon) do not react (combine) with other atoms.
SiCl4 is a covalent compound. It is formed by sharing electrons between silicon and chlorine atoms, rather than transferring electrons as in ionic compounds.
By sharing electrons in covalent bonds or by transferring electrons in ionic bonds
When two atoms combine by transferring electrons, it is a(n) _____ bond.
When two atoms combine by transferring electrons, it is a(n) _____ bond.
they form covalent bond by the sharing of electrons.
Atoms share electrons when they form covalent bonds.

When atoms share electrons as opposed to transferring them, the atoms are covalently bonded.
No, It would be an ionic bond. For Covalent is the sharing of atoms, ionic is transferring.
