An atom x has 2,8,7 electrons in it shell. it combines with y having 1 electron in its outermost shell.
a). what type of bond will be formed between x and y?

Solution

Covalent bond will be formed. Because the cation formed after losing the only electron has an immense ability to polarize electron clouds resulting in a high degree of covalent bonding.
