Alberto Lambert · Answer 1

A) oppositely charged ions are held together by strong electrical attractions - ionic bond

B) atoms of metals form bonds to atoms of nonmetals - coordinate covalent bond

C) atoms of different metals form bonds - metallic bond

D) atoms are held together by sharing electrons - covalent bond

E) atoms of noble gases are held together by attractions between oppositely charged ions - noble gases are mostly chemically inert and they only interact by small physical attractions like Van der Waals interactions.
