What type of bond exists between atoms?

How can you predict what type of bond exists between two atoms if you only have a periodic table?

  • Answer:

    Elements prefer to exist in a state with a full valence shell (eight electrons), for stability. Sodium loses one electron and chloride gains one electron to put them both in their most stable state. From a periodic table, you can check its electrons.
