<p>Chemical bonds are formed by the attraction between the positive nucleus of one atom and the negative electrons of another atom, or by the attraction of positive and negative ions.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>A positive ion forms when an atom loses one or more valence electrons to attain a noble gas configuration. A negative ion forms when nonmetals easily gain electrons to attain a stable outer electron configuration.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>A metallic bond is the attraction of a metallic cation for delocalized electrons. Metals hold onto their valence electrons very weakly.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Ionic bonds are formed when oppositely charged particles are held together. One atom transfers its valence electron to an atom that is a different element. The one that gives up its electron becomes positive, and the one that accepts the electron becomes negative. They're arranged so that there are 8 electrons in the outer shell of each atom.</p> Signup and view all the answers
