The given question is incomplete. The complete question is :

Bonding between two elements of equal electronegativity would be

a.100% covalent

b.50% ionic

c. metallic in character

d. primarily ionic

a. 100% covalent

Explanation:

An ionic bond is formed when an element completely transfers its valence electron to another element. The element which donates the electron is known as electropositive element or the metal and the element which accepts the electrons is known as electronegative element or non metal.

A covalent bond is formed when an element shares its valence electron with another element. This bond is formed between two non metals. When the two non metals have equal electronegativities, the bond is called as non polar covalent.

Metallic bonding is the type of chemical bonding occurs between the atoms of a metals.In this type of bonding arises due to electrostatic interaction between the electron cloud of de-localized electrons with positively charges metal ions.

answer: i would say b.

explanation:

Answer from: Quest

explanation:

metals have excess of electrons whereas non-metals have deficiency of electrons. thus, in order to gain stability metals easily donate their electrons to the non-metals.

for example, electronic configuration of sodium is $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{1}$ and electronic configuration of phosphorous is $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}3p^{3}$ .

when a phosphorous atom and sodium atom combine together then sodium will donate is extra one electron to the phosphorous atom. as a result there will be formation of ionic bond between sodium and phosphorous.

the reaction will be as follows.

$3na + p \rightarrow na_{3}p$

there, are three sodium sodium atoms and each of them will donate its one extra electron to phosphorous atom. thus, the sub-shell of phosphorous gets completely filled.

thus, we can conclude that electrons are transferred from atoms of sodium to atoms of phosphorous. this transfer makes the sodium atoms donate one electron and the phosphorous atoms to gain one electron. as a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly attract each other.

Electrons are transferred from atoms of to atoms of this transfer makes the sodium atoms and the
