Most of the chemical bonding that occurs between elements during the formation of molecular compounds results from which of the following?
  1. The exchange or combination of protons within the atomic nuclei of different atoms.
  2. The magnetic attraction between the opposite poles of different types of atoms.
  3. The transfer or sharing of the outer- most electrons of two or more atoms.
  4. The electrical attraction between protons and neutrons in two or more different types of atoms.
Explanation
Correct Response: C. The most common types of chemical bonds between elements in the formation of compounds are covalent and ionic bonds. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between molecules and ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons between molecules. Covalent and ionic bonds do not involve the exchange or combination of protons (A), a magnetic attraction between opposite poles of atoms (B), or an electrical attraction between protons and neutrons in different types of atoms (D).
