Ionic bonding.:
- Between a metal and a non-metal atom,
- Electrons are transferred
- Metals lose electrons to form positive (cations).
- Non-metals gain electrons to form negative (anions)
- Ions bond together in an ionic bond to form a giant ionic lattice.
Covalent bonding:
- Between nonmetal atoms
- Electrons are shared
- Atoms bond together to form simple covalent molecules.
