Textbook Question
Chapter 12, Problem 4RAT
In terms of the periodic table, is there an abrupt or gradual change between ionic and covalent bonds?
| (a) | An abrupt change occurs across the metalloids. |
| (b) | Actually, any element of the periodic table can form a covalent bond. |
| (c) | There is a gradual change: the farther apart the elements, the more ionic. |
| (d) | Whether an element forms an ionic or a covalent bond depends on nuclear charge, not on the relative positions in the periodic table. |
