When the difference in electronegativity is large, the tendency is for the more electronegative atom to take the electron and the less electronegative atom to give the electron. This results is an ionic bond as opposed to a covalent bond, where the electrons are shared. So, the answer to you question is they would form a bond by transferring electrons.

This is when atoms of elements combine by sharing electrons or by the complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another?

This process is known as chemical bonding. Atoms can form covalent bonds by sharing electrons, or ionic bonds by transferring electrons. The type of bond formed depends on the electronegativity difference between the atoms involved.


What is a chemical bond formed by the transferred electrons?

Ionic bonds are formed by transferring electrons, while covalent (molecular) are formed by sharing electrons.


Can chemical bonds be produced by losing electrons losing nuetrons transferring electrons sharing electrons or gaining electrons?

Chemical bonds can be only produced by gaining, losing or sharing electrons. If a compound is formed by losing or gaining electrons, it is called an ionic bond and if by sharing electrons, it is called a covalent bond.

Is hydrazine ionic or cavalent?

Hydrazine is covalent. It is a compound formed by sharing of electrons between nitrogen and hydrogen atoms, rather than transferring electrons to form ions.


Do bromine and sulfur share electrons?

No, bromine and sulfur do not share electrons. Bromine and sulfur can form chemical bonds by transferring or sharing electrons, but they do not form a covalent bond where the electrons are shared between the two atoms.
