Question

An atom X has 2, 8, 7 electrons in its shell. It combines with Y having 1 electron in its outermost shell.

What type of bond will be formed between X and Y?

One Line Answer

Solution

X has 7 electrons in its outermost shell and Y has only one electron in its outermost shell so Y loses its one electron and X gains that electron to form an ionic bond.
