Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Covalent bonds form when two atoms share electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, while hydrogen bonds involve an attraction between the partial positive charge of a hydrogen atom and the partial negative charge of another atom. Ions are formed when an atom gains or loses electrons, resulting in a net positive or negative charge. Therefore, the best choice for this question is B) covalent bond.
