Question

What causes a chemical bond to form between atoms? transferring or sharing electrons. spinning or stopping electrons. ejecting or absorbing electrons. destroying or creating electrons.

Answer 1

The answer would be A. transferring or sharing electrons. This is because ionic and covalent bonds both involve the sharing of certain electrons to stay bonded and stable.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

transferring or sharing electrons

Step-by-step explanation:

Transfer of electrons from one atom to others creates positively and negatively charged particles, called ions. The opposite charges of these ions attract each other and form a chemical bond between them. Example: the bond between Na+ and Cl- ions form NaCl

Likewise, the sharing of electrons between two atoms creates a covalent bond to join them with each other. Here, sharing of electrons occurs to complete the octet of the atoms to impart them stable configuration. Example: sharing of electron between C and O forms CO (carbon monoxide).
