Answer:
How is metallic bonding different from ionic bonding? ... In an ionic bond the valence electrons are transferred from the metal only to the neighboring nonmetal, but in metallic bonding the valence electrons of each atom/ion are free to move or float around within the entire metal solid.
Answer:
The answer to your question is the third option, atoms of each lose one electron to achieve stability.
Explanation:
a) The first option is incorrect, those elements are extremely reactive and can explode.
b) The option is also incorrect, metalloids are located in groups 3A, 4A OR 5A in the periodic table.
c) This option is correct
d) These elements have 1 valence electron, this option is wrong.
Explanation:
Atomic number of carbon is 6. So, 4 valence electrons are present.
Therefore, it can form 4 covalent bonds with varying bond angles by sharing its valence electrons.
Catenation is also an important property of carbon. Catenation is bonding with atoms of same element. Carbon skeleton can be formed in any direction and can vary in length, branching, and ring structure.
Elements required for making most of the molecules in living organisms are:
C, H, N, O, P and S
Carbon easily form covalents with other 5 elements.
These properties make carbon most versatile building blocks of the molecules used by living organisms.
