Covalent bond is the type of bond which involves the sharing of valence electrons between two atoms.
This bond usually arises from the equal attraction of the nuclei of the two atoms for the electrons shared.
Ionic bond, on the other hand, arises due to the transfer of electrons from the valence shell of one atom to the valence shell of the other.
Answer:
the answer is 7 which is the atomic number of nitrogen
Explanation:
Al+Na=24
24/Oxygen (8) =3
3x rounded atomic mass of Ne (3x20) = 60
60+ 20 (# of neutrons in K)=80
80-30 (# of electrons in zinc)= 50
50/25 (the atomic number of Mn)=2
2x9 (number of protons in F)= 18
18+24 (atomic mass of Mg)=42
42/6 (number of neutrons in boron)=7
7 is the atomic number of Nitrogen (N)
Ionic bonds generally have higher melting points due to stronger electrostatic interactions.
