Covalent bonds form when two elements share electrons to make a complete outer shell of electrons. Ionic bonds form when one element donates one or more electrons to another element to make a complete outer shell of electrons. Which statement best explains the type of bond that will form between two elements from Group 6A in the model?
a) The two elements will form a covalent bond because both elements will share a single electron in order to have full outer shells.
b) The two elements will form a covalent bond because both elements will share a pair of electrons in order to have full outer shells.
c) The two elements will form an ionic bond because one of the elements will donate one electron to the other element in order to have full outer shells.
d) The two elements will form an ionic bond because one of the elements will donate two electrons to the other element in order to have full outer shells.
