Question

sort the answers below as either relating to an ionic bond or a covalent bond.
bond between a metal
and non-metal
bond between 2 non-
metals
bond between diatomic
elements (h₂, cl₂, f₂, br₂)
bond between an element
on the left and the right
side of the table
bond between 2 elements,
both on the right side of
the table
ionic bond
covalent bond

Explanation:

• Ionic bonds form between a metal and a non - metal (or an element on the left and right side of the periodic table).
• Covalent bonds form between non - metals (including diatomic elements and when both elements are on the right side of the periodic table).

Answer:

• Ionic Bond: Bond between a METAL AND NON - METAL, Bond between an element on the LEFT and the RIGHT side of the table
• Covalent Bond: Bond between 2 NON - METALS, Bond between DIATOMIC ELEMENTS (\(H_2\), \(CL_2\), \(F_2\), \(BR_2\)), Bond between 2 elements, both on the RIGHT side of the table
