the incomplete table below shows selected characteristics of different types of bonds. what type of bond is most likely being represented in row 1? ion - dipole ionic metallic covalent
Answer
Brief Explanations:
- Analyze the key - points: Electron sharing among many atoms and ductile property.
- Ion - dipole bonds involve an ion and a dipole, not electron sharing among many atoms.
- Ionic bonds are formed by the transfer of electrons, not sharing among many atoms.
- Metallic bonds involve the sharing of a sea of electrons among many metal atoms and result in ductile compounds.
- Covalent bonds are sharing between two atoms (usually), not many atoms for the general description here.
Answer:
C. metallic
