Question

What are the three ways in which an atom can form bonds with other atoms?

Answer 1

Answer:

• Electrons can be transferred from one atom to another, via ionic bonding.
• Electrons can be shared between neighboring atoms, through covalent bonding.
• Electrons can be shared with all the atoms of a material in an uneven, but possible, sharing.

Explanation:

As we know, atoms are the smallest particles of matter and represent the true creators of matter and everything that occupies space and has mass. Atoms are composed of electrons, protons and neutrals.

Electrons allow one atom to interact with another, forming bonds that allow something tangible to be created. This interaction can occur in three ways:

• Electrons can be transferred from one atom to another, via ionic bonding.
• Electrons can be shared between neighboring atoms, through covalent bonding.
• Electrons can be shared with all the atoms of a material in an uneven, but possible, sharing.

Answer 2

1.forming ionic bond by giving or taking electrons.
2.forming covalent bond by equal sharing of electrons.
3.forming Co-ordinate bond by unequal sharing of electrons.
