Answer is: D. High ionization energies; high electron affinities.

Covalent bond is usually between nonmetals.

The ionization energy (Ei) is the minimum amount of energy required to remove the valence electron, when element lose  electrons, oxidation number of element grows (oxidation process).

Nonmetals are far right in the main group and they have highest ionization energy, because they have many valence electrons.

For example, fluorine has the greatest affinity for electrons and tendency to be reduced, than oxygen and chlorine.

Fluorine form molecule of fluorine F₂ with single nonpolar covalent bond.

According to naming rules, the types of compound that use prefixes in their names are ________.
arlik [135]

Answer:

Covalent compounds.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, when forming chemical bonds in order to form compounds, we say that if electrons are shared, covalent compounds are to be formed and they usually have subscripts that need prefixes to be named, for instance phosphorous pentachloride (PCl5), dichlorine heptoxide (Cl2O7), carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) and many others.

Regards.

What attractive force draws in surrounding electrons for chemical bonds?
Dmitrij [34]

The formation of chemical bonds occurs due to the attractive forces between oppositely charged ions (ionic bonds) or by sharing of electrons (covalent bonds).

An atom having tendency of attracting a shared pair of electrons towards itself and this chemical property is said to Electronegativity .

Thus, the attractive forces which draws in surrounding electrons for chemical bonds is electronegativity.
