Q:

Which two atoms form an ionic bond?

Answer

Ionic bonding is a type of chemical bond in which valence electrons are lost from one atom and gained by another.. This bond generates two oppositely charged ions.


In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.


 


Example ::


One example of an ionic bond is the formation of sodium fluoride, NaF, from a sodium atom and a fluorine atom. In this reaction, the sodium atom loses its single valence electron to the fluorine atom, which has just enough space to accept it. The ions produced are oppositely charged and are attracted to one another due to electrostatic forces.

Q:

Describe a situation in which you had to arrive at a compromise or guide others to a compromise ?

Answer

This question is designed to see how well you can mediate a situation and handle conflict. You want to come across as someone who can compromise when necessary. An interviewer wants to see that you can not only reach an outcome that is desirable for both sides of a conflict of interest, but also that you can understand where the other person is coming from. Empathy and understanding go a long way in any job and this is a good opportunity to show that you can put yourself in another’s shoes.
