Atoms with a low ionization energy hold tight to their outer valence electrons
No; the phrase given characterizes high rather than low
ionization.
Atoms with a low electronegativity like calcium might bond with
an atom with a high electronegativity, like fluorine
Elements that typically attract electrons are what
When atoms in a covalent bond have a rather high difference in the electronegativities the bond is set to be
What conditions suggest a bond will be ionic
If the electronegativity difference between the bonding atoms
are more than 1.7 according to Pauling's scale, the bond shows a
dominant ionic character.
Why are the valence electrons found in metallic bonds different from other bonds because of what
Metallic bonds have delocalized electrons.
Atoms like sodium and lithium often lose electrons, which makes them
