Match the following descriptions with the type of bond (ionic, nonpolar covalent, covalent). (a) One or more electrons are transferred from a metal to a nonmetal atom.

Video transcript

Hello everyone in this video we're being told a statement that a mental transfer one or more electrons to a non metal atom will be asked Which type of bond this describes between a ionic non polar Covalin or Covalin bond. Let's go ahead and define each of these and go ahead and match which bond type this description fits. So for ionic bonds these are complete transfers of electrons between atoms, meaning that there's no sharing at all of any of our electrons. It's simply a transfer. Next will be a non polar Covalin bond. So this is of course a covalin bond where two atoms share electron density. But in equally so there will be a stronger pull of electrons of one item compared to the other one. And lastly we have our co valent bond and this is of course, again a covid and bond, but there's an equal sharing of electron density. Alright, so now let's go ahead and actually reread this statement as a metal transfer, One electron, one or more electrons to a non metal atom. So you can see from this description that there's no sharing of electrons is a total transfer. And therefore this describes our ionic bond. So the answer to this problem is going to be statement, A ionic bond
