Question

Group 1 elements have an average electronegativity of 0.84 (not including hydrogen). Group 17 elements have an average electronegativity of 2.99. These two groups often form bonds. Given this information, which kind of bond will they likely form (ionic or covalent), and what evidence supports your claim? If it is ionic, then include which group gives up its electron to the other group. In three to five sentences, explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Both group 1 and 7 elements formed ionic bond when they are combine together.

What type of bond is formed?

The group 1 and group 7 elements formed ionic bond when they are combine together because group 1 elements has to lose one electron in order to get stability while on the other hand, group 7 elements needs 1 electron in order to get stability so due to this one element lose electrons and the gain electrons so we can conclude that both group elements formed ionic bond.
