Question

Elements with low ionization potential and high electron affinity form ionic type of bonds. Which type of bonds are formed among the elements with high ionization potential and high electron affinity?

Answer 1

The element having high ionization potential cannot transfer its electron to an atom with a high electron affinity. In this case, to form the bond, the atom shares its electron with another atom. Such type of bond is called the covalent bond.

So, the correct answer is the covalent bond.
