Element x is metallic and element y is nonmetallic. what bond
will x and y form?

a metallic
b nonmetallic
c lonic
d nonpolar
e covalent

ionic

Explanation:

metallic bonds are only formed between two metals

nonmetallic bonds are only formed between two nonmetals

ionic bonds are formed between to oppositely charged elements (metals and nonmetals)

nonpolar bonds are related to electronegativity and you will not have a nonpolar ionic bond (only nonpolar covalent bond)

covalent bond (two cations or two anions partnered)

both adhesion and cohesion are attractions.

they are different in that adhesion is the force of attraction between the molecules of two different substances, whereas cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules of the same substance.

possible examples include capillary action, in which the adhesion between water and glass causes the water to rise in a narrow tube against the force of gravity.

because of hydrogen bonding, water is extremely cohesive.

this causes molecules on the surface of water to be drawn inward, which is why drops of water form beads on smooth surfaces.

hope this .

metals are good conductor of electricity. it has free electrons on their surface. according to electron pool theory, each atom present in a metal crystal losses all of its valence electron and as a result a pool of free is form. these pool of electrons are free to move and   conduct electricity easily   while making metal as good conductor.

the correct answer is a. the ability of electrons to flow throughout the metal.
