a metal from group 1 and a nonmetal from group 17 are
1.) not likely to bond
2.) likely to form a covalent bond
3.) likely to form an ionic bond
4.) likely to form a metalloid
is it 3
pls help me
yes, it is C
To determine the type of bond that is likely to form between a metal from group 1 and a nonmetal from group 17, we need to consider their electron configurations and electronegativity values.
Group 1 elements, also known as alkali metals, have one electron in their outermost energy level. Group 17 elements, also known as halogens, have seven electrons in their outermost energy level.
Ionic bonds occur when there is a transfer of electrons from the metal to the nonmetal, resulting in the formation of positively charged metal ions and negatively charged nonmetal ions. In this case, the alkali metal loses one electron to achieve a stable noble gas configuration, and the halogen gains one electron to achieve a stable noble gas configuration. The resulting positive and negative charges attract each other, forming an ionic bond.
Therefore, option 3) likely to form an ionic bond is correct.
