each atom in order to draw an electron-dot
structure?

Why do metals and nonmetals tend to form
ionic bonds?
Metals have low electronegativities, so
they transfer electrons easily to nonmetals,
forming ionic bonds.
Nonmetals have lower electronegativities
than most metals, so they bond tightly
together, creating ionic bonds.
Metals and nonmetals have similar
electronegativities and masses, so they
share electrons when creating ionic bonds.
Nonmetals and metals that are bonded have
atomic masses so different that it causes
them to form ionic bonds more easily.
Which term describes positive ions?
cations
anions
valanceshells
