Fill in the Blanks CHEMICAL BONDINGOnline version FILL IN THE BLANKS THE CORRECT ANSWER IN THE GIVEN STATEMENT. by Rachelle Dela Cruz 1 joining Electronegativity equal metals transferring sharing Nonmetals Metallic Metallic unequal Chemical bonding are formed by the of two or more atoms . is a measure of the tendency of an atom to attract a bonding pair of electrons . Since have few valence electrons , they tend to increase their stability by losing electrons to become cations . Consequently , the electronegativities of metals are generally low . have more valence electrons and increase their stability by gaining electrons to become anions . There are three types of chemical bonding , namely Ionic , Covalent and Bonding . Ionic bonding is the process of electrons between two atoms . It occurs between a nonmetal and a metal . Covalent bonding is the process of of electrons between two atoms . The bonds are typically between a nonmetal and a nonmetal . There are two types of covalent bonding , Polar covalent bonding is the process of sharing of electrons . and Non - Polar covalent bonding is the process of sharing of electrons . bonds neither transfer nor share electrons .
