The only bond that involves the complete transfer of electrons is ionic bonding.
A metal that does not have much care for its electrons, such as Sodium, Na, is willing to give up its electron more freely. And an atom that really cares about having electrons might be a gas such as chlorine, Cl. The Chlorine atom takes the electron from Sodium, and then the newly formed ions of Na+ and Cl- bond because they have equal and opposite charges and opposites attract. NaCl is formed.
Hydrogen bonds aren’t actually real bonds (I know, the name is deceptive)
Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons.
I’m pretty sure metallic bonds is a made-up term.
Answer: Mutations are important to the evolution of a species because is creates new DNA for a certain gene, creating a new allele.
Hope this helps!!! Good luck!!! ;)
The answer to that question is c
Answer:
Lewis structure in attachment.
Explanation:
Atoms of elements in and beyond the third period of the periodic table form some compounds in which more than eight electrons surround the central atom. In addition to the 3s and 3p orbitals, elements in the third period also have 3d orbitals that can be used in bonding. These orbitals enable an atom to form an <u>expanded octet</u>.
The central Xe atom in the XeF₄ molecule has <u>two</u> unbonded electron pairs and <u>four</u> bonded electron pairs in its valence shell.
