Answer 1

Answer:wo processes by which elements can combine to form stable compounds are transferring electrons from one atom to another (ionic compounds) or by sharing electrons (covalent compounds).

Explanation:

i had that question before:)

Answer 2

Answer:

Covalent bonding and Ionic bonding.

Covalent bonding is when atoms share electrons in order to form a stable electron arrangement. The two positive nuclei are attracted to the positive shared electron which holds the molecule together.

Ionic bonding is a giving and accepting of electrons between a metal and non metal. A metal will give the non-metal one or more electrons in order for both to form a stable electron arrangement.
