In a molecule with covalent bonding,________.
A)oppositely charged ions are held together by strong electrical attractions

C)atoms of different metals form bonds
D)atoms are held together by sharing electrons
E)atoms of noble gases are held together by attractions between oppositely charged ions

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In covalent bonding, atoms share electrons to form a stable molecule. Oppositely charged ions are held together by ionic bonding, and metals and nonmetals form an ionic bond, not a covalent bond. Atoms of different metals do not typically form bonds with each other, and noble gases do not usually form bonds at all.
