what happens in an ionic bond? 

Electrons are transferred between valence shells of atoms

300

What element should be in the center in a Lewis dot structure for covalent bonds? 

If carbon is present it should be placed in the center, if not then the least electronegative atom should be in the center.

What is a binary acid? 

Acids that consist of 2 elements, usually a hydrogen and a halogen

400

What happens in a covalent bond?

Pairs of electrons are shared between non-metal atoms.
