Question

We can tell what kind of chemical bond will be present based on the ____________

a. Atomic mass
b. The number of neutrons
c. The number of electrons in the outer shell
d. The chemical name

Answer 1

Option (c).

Step-by-step explanation:

The chemical bond may be defined as the bond responsible for holding the chemical molecules together. Different types of chemical bond are vander walls, ionic bond, covalent bond and hydrogen bonds.

The types of the chemical formed by an element will depends on the number of electrons present in its outermost shell. For example: the molecules that contains two or three electrons in their outermost shell and can easily loose them to form the ioninc bonds. The elements that contain 4 electrons in their outermost shell will likely to form the covalent bond by mutual sharing of electron.

Thus, the correct answer is option (c).
