Question

When bonding, what is most likely to happen between the atoms listed below?

A.) Atom X will donate electrons to Atom Y
B.) Atom X will accept electrons from Atom Y
C.) Atom Y will accept electrons from Atom Z
D.) Atom Z will donate electrons to Atom X

Answer 1

atom x will accept electrons from atom y

Step-by-step explanation:

in bonding the main purpose is to gain stable electronic configuration hence atom y will give out the two valence electrons to atom x

this kind of bonding where one of the atom is the one donating the electrons is known as ionic bond.
