When considering atomic orbitals the only important information they really wanted to know is the size of the orbit, which was described by using quantum numbers.
What is likely to occur if sulfur forms an ionic bond with another element is <u>sulfur will accept electrons</u>
<u><em> explanation</em></u>
- Ionic bond is formed when a metal react with a non metal.
- Metal loses ( donate) electrons to form cation ( a positively charged ion) , while non metal accept (gain) electrons to form anion ( a negatively charged ion ).
- Sulfur is a non metal therefore it accept electrons if it form an ionic bond with a metal. sulfur accept 2 electrons to form S2- ion
The total number of elements that one particular element can bond to can be determined by simply drawing the Lewis structure of the element.
Place the chemical symbol
Then look at the group number = valence electrons
Distribute the valence electrons around the atom.
C = 4 bonds
N = 3 bonds
O = 2 bonds
Answer:
Carbon and Oxygen, Argon and Helium.
Explanation:
noble gases have full outer shells of electrons, and so cannot share other atoms' electrons to form bonds. sodium and chlorine form an ionic bond.
