The Quiz: Electrons are transferred in what type of chemical bond?
Peptide bond
Metallic bond
Covalent bond
Ionic bond
Of the three main types of atomic bonds — ionic, covalent, and metallic — only one involves a complete transfer of an electron: ionic bonding. In an ionic bond, one atom gives up the valence electron in its outer shell to complete the outer shell of another atom. In covalent bonding, that electron is shared between two atoms, and in metallic bonding, the electron exists in a cloud around many different atoms.
The correct answer to this quiz is Ionic bond.
