Chemistry · Kossel-Lewis approach to chemical bond formation, the concept of ionic and covalent bonds
The two ways of combining atoms are:
The two ways of combining atoms are:
- A. transfer of valence electrons
- B. sharing of valence electrons
- C. both \( A \) and \( B \)
- D. none of the above
Step-by-step solution
Atoms combine either by transferring valence electrons (forming ionic bonds) or by sharing valence electrons (forming covalent bonds). The question asks for the two ways of combining atoms, and both transfer and sharing are fundamental mechanisms.
