Question
elements of life are s, p, o, n, c, and h.
what type of bond do you think they usually form? (hint: h often acts like it is above f, rather than above li)
covalent
ionic
hydrogen
permanent
Covalent bonds are formed when atoms share electrons. The elements S (sulfur), P (phosphorus), O (oxygen), N (nitrogen), C (carbon), and H (hydrogen) are non - metals. Non - metals usually form covalent bonds. Ionic bonds are formed between metals and non - metals. Hydrogen bonds are a type of intermolecular force, not a chemical bond in the traditional sense (like covalent or ionic). There is no such thing as a "permanent" bond in the context of basic chemical bonding types.
