Type of bond between germanium and fluorine |
|
Answer» It will form an ionic bond. Or a GermaniumQuadflouride bond An ionic bond is formed between a METAL and a non metal,because it involves complete transfer of electrons. In this case,Germamium is a metal while Florine is a non metal. The metallic element gives ATOMS for the non metallic element. When a metal LOSES its atom,it becomes an ion. Fluorine will lose its atom and become a fluorine ion. Germamium and fluorine IONS will now have equal but differently charged ions,and since DIFFERENT charges attract,they will attract each other to form an ionic bond. |
