What do ionic bond and covelant bond have in common?

A) Both types of bond involve only one electron

B) both type of bonds involve valance electrons

C) electrons are transferred from one atom to another in both types of bonds

D) Electrons are shared between atoms in both types of bonds

An empty fuel tank can still contain and therefore can be even more dangerous than one full of liquid fuel.

The atomic radius of sodium is 186 pm and of chlorine is 100 pm. the ionic radius for na+ is 102 pm and for cl– is 181 pm. in going from na to cl in period 3, why does the atomic radius decrease while the ionic radius increases? a. the inner electrons in the sodium cation shield its valence electrons more effectively than the inner electrons in the chloride anion do. b. the inner electrons shield the valence electrons more effectively in the chlorine atom than in the chloride anion. c. the outermost electrons in chloride experience a smaller effective nuclear charge than those in the sodium cation do. d. the outermost electrons in chloride experience a larger effective nuclear charge than those in the sodium cation do. e. monatomic ions are bigger than the atoms from which they are formed.

In 2002, the rare earth elements mine in mountain pass, california was closed because
