Question
what kind of bond is it when an electron is fully transferred to another atom? metallic covalent ionic rewatch
Brief Explanations
To determine the bond type when an electron is fully transferred between atoms, we analyze each option:
- Metallic bonds involve a "sea of electrons" shared among metal atoms, not full electron transfer.
- Covalent bonds involve sharing of electron pairs between atoms, not transfer.
- Ionic bonds occur when one atom donates (fully transfers) electrons to another, forming ions held by electrostatic attraction.
