ocr: This transfer ofe electrons IS calledionic OI electrovalent bonding and OCCUrS as aresult ofthe attraction betweent - unlikeions (uket the positive sodium ion andi ther negative chlorinei ion). Ionicl bonding typicaly OCCUIS between a metal andnon-metal. Some elements wouldhave to gam torlose4 electrons to have a stable outer electron shell This obviously wouldt take alot of energy and SO these elements do notnormally usei ionic bonding In thecased eofcarbon, itwants to lose OI gam 4 electrons, SO whatitnormally doesi sis shareit's46 electrons with other elements, Hydrogen withi's S single ele ...
