Question
when electrons transfer from one atom to another, both atoms become choose and they are held together by a(n) choose bond. when electrons are shared between atoms, a(n) choose bond forms between the atoms, and the joined atoms become a(n) choose.
Brief Explanations
- When electrons transfer from one atom to another, the atoms become ions (since electron transfer leads to charge imbalance, forming cations and anions), and they are held together by an ionic bond.
- When electrons are shared between atoms, a covalent bond forms between the atoms, and the joined atoms become a molecule (as covalent bonding typically forms molecules by sharing electron pairs).
