Covalent bonds can be best described as neutral atoms coming together to share electrons. neutral atoms coming together to create electrons. ionized atoms coming together to trade electrons. ionized atoms coming together to destroy electrons.

Ionic bonds will most likely form between an atom with a high ionization energy and an atom with a low ionization energy. The most predominantly ionic compound will be obtained from the combination of elements belonging to group _______ (#1: I/II) and group _______ (#2: VII/VIII). Covalent bonds will most likely form between two atoms with a high ionization energy. A covalent bond results from the ________ (#3: sharing/transfer) of a pair of electrons between two atoms, while an ionic bond involves the ________ (#4: sharing/transfer) of one or more electrons from one atom to another. A covalent bond is formed by the overlap of the orbitals on individual atoms. There is a _______ (#5: sharing/transfer) of electrons in the region where the orbitals overlap. The term molecule is used to describe _______ (#6: ionic/covalent) compounds that have a distinct set of atoms in their structure. ________ (#7: Ionic/Covalent) compounds are composed of collections of ions which come together in ratios that balance their charges, but there are no independent molecules formed. Use of the word molecule implies _______ (#8: ionic/covalent) bonding.
