Question

Which type of bonding is never found in elements
A) covalent
B) ionic
C) metallic
D) van der wall forces

Answer 1

Metallic bonding is never found in elements but is a type of chemical bonding that rises from the electrostatic attractive force between conduction electrons

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer to this question is Metallic bonding.

Explanation:

Given - Bonding is never found in elements.

To Find - Which type of bonding is never found in elements?

Metallic bonding is never found in elements.

There are never enough outer-shell electrons to wrap an octet around an atom since the outer p-orbitals of the metallic elements are vacant or almost empty.

Ionic bonding cannot happen because the atom's electron affinity is too low and its ionization energy is too high. For instance, because it contains four valence electrons—half of an octet—carbon cannot form ionic bonds. Carbon molecules need to either gain or lose 4 electrons in order to form ionic bonds.
