Which elements usually lose their valence electrons when they bond

Chemistry

Ionic bonding is when the valence electron is stripped from the molecule when bonding to equilibrate charge energy. The opposite is covalent bonding, where electrons are not lost but shared.

Ionic bonding is seen when metals interact with non metals and other metals

the element that loses the valence electron is the one that is more positively charged. The element that gains the electron was more negatively charged.

Chlorine reacts very violently. What about its electron shells makes this the case?
guapka [62]

Answer:

it readily gains another electron. the outer electron shell is closer to the nucleus, than iodine for example, which makes it less shielded (greater attraction for another electron = violent reaction to get it)

Briefly explain in your own words why the bond angle increases as the number of electron groups decreases
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

i) The bond angle decreases due to the presence of lone pairs, which causes more repulsion on the bond pairs and as a result, the bond pairs tend to come closer. ii) The repulsion between electron pairs increases with an increase in electronegativity of the central atom and hence the bond angle increases.
