Question

1/53
predict the bond that will form between s and o.
ionic
covalent

Explanation:

Covalent bonds form between non - metals. Both sulfur (S) and oxygen (O) are non - metals. In a covalent bond, atoms share electrons. For example, in sulfur dioxide (\(SO_{2}\)) or sulfur trioxide (\(SO_{3}\)), sulfur and oxygen share electrons to complete their valence shells. Ionic bonds form between metals and non - metals (where electrons are transferred). Since there are no metals involved here (S and O are non - metals), it can't be ionic.

Answer:

Covalent
