c) ionized
d) shared

Covalent bonds form when electrons are
a) shared
b) magnetized
c) transferred
d) ionized

In an ionic bond, nonmetals are most likely to

b) lose electrons
c) cancel electrons
d) share electrons

Which of these elements have atoms that do not have two electrons in their outer shells?

When an atom manages to get its outer energy level filled with electrons the atom becomes

b) More reactive
c) unstable
d) new elemen

When a covalent bond forms between two atoms how many atoms have a full outer shell of electrons?

What makes the outer shell electrons important is that they

b) tell you what element you're dealing with if you only know how many electrons are in the outer shell
c) will always seek out atoms that have the same number of outer shell electrons
d) are not really important so they can be lost easily.
