Definition: In this task, you are given two statements. The task is to output whether a given textual premise, i.e. Statement 2, entails or implies a given scientific fact, i.e. Statement 1. The output should be 'entails' if Statement 2 supports Statement 1 and should be 'neutral' otherwise.
Input: Sentence 1: Ionic bonds between two atoms require one metal and one nonmetal. Sentence 2: Ionic compounds are formed between metals and nonmetals, while covalent compounds are formed between two nonmetals, or, as is the case with tin tetraiodide, between an element that is a borderline metal (notice the position of tin on the periodic chart) and a nonmetal like iodine.
