Hydrogen—>3 (for the “N” I think…)

hmmm, i would say 2 in ionic, because its so polar one atom takes all the electrons

in a covalent…i would say it depends on the atoms, like carbon can form four covalent bonds, while say nitrogen can form 3.

hydrogen bond, i would say one to hydrogen, but i could be wrong

we never really addressed that in chem

Ionic 2…
Yeah, Hydrogen 1, since it only has 1 electron on the last level…it isn’t like it can give more…
And covalent…:S

Btw, I studied this in spanish, so if something doesn’t make sense, just tell me…

whatever element has the highest valence will be able to accept
the largest number of bonds. I’m not sure what element that is
just look at the periodic table it’ll tell you.
In a covalent bond with carbon 4
however with other elements it could be higher. I’m not sure what compounds though.
Hydrogen one.
