Question

1.A particular ion has a positive two charge. What does this indicate about the particle and its electrons?

2.What type of elements (metals, nonmetals, or metalloids) are involved in ionic bonding? How does an ionic bond occur?
3.What kind of bond would form between iron and copper? How do you know?
4.How do you know if a covalent bond has formed?
5.A bond forms between hydrogen and bromine. Will it be ionic, polar covalent, or nonpolar covalent? How do you determine this?

Answer 1

1) The last orbital has 2 electrons.
2) Every element can do ionic bonding except for Noble gases because they are stable. This happens when an element needs an electron so it takes it from the element it’s mixing with to make it stable if an element needs 2 electrons it would take electrons from the element it’s mixing with if possible. If not you get explosives and it reacts when an element needs 3 electrons it has a negative 3 charge.
