Question
**Covalent Bonding Activity**

**[Review Topics]** **[References]**

**Use the References to access important values if needed for this question.**

The following Lewis representation depicts a reaction between one atom of a group [___] metal and one atom of a group [___] nonmetal.

\[ \text{X} \cdot + \cdot \cdot \cdot \text{Y} \cdot \cdot \cdot \rightarrow \text{X}^{+} + \left[ : \text{Y} : \right]^{-} \]

In this representation, each [___] atom loses [___] electron(s) and each [___] atom gains [___] electron(s).

The bonds that form in the product would be [___].

- - - - - - - - -

**[Submit Answer]**            **[Retry Entire Group]**

_9 more group attempts remaining_

Explanation of the diagrams:
1. The symbols X and Y represent two different elements. X has one dot, symbolizing a single valence electron. Y has seven dots, symbolizing seven valence electrons in its outer shell.
2. The arrow denotes a reaction where the X atom loses its valence electron, represented by the dot moving away from X.
3. The products show X as \( \text{X}^{+} \), indicating it has lost an electron and has a positive charge. Y is represented as \(\left[ : \text{Y} : \right]^{-}\), indicating it has gained an electron and has a negative charge. The added electron is shown as an additional dot next to Y’s seven valence electrons, making it eight, representing a complete outer shell.
