Multiple Choice

During a chemical reaction in which a covalent bond is formed

• Valence electrons are transferred from one atom to another

• Valence electrons are shared

• Valence electrons are both shared and transferred

Multiple Choice

Which of the following pairs of elements can form a metallic bond?
