1.	An atom x has 2,8,7 electrons in its shell. it combines with y having 1 electron in its outermost shell.what type of bond will be formed between xandy? write the formula of the compound formed
Answer» X has 7 ELECTRONS in its outermost shell and it REQUIRES one electron to complete its octet so atom y will DONATE 1 electron . it MEANS their is transfer of electrons between atoms . so the bond FORMED will be ionic. and its formula will be xy. hope it helps you
