Unit 3: Chemistry. COVALENT BONDING.
What is a covalent bond?
Atoms share one or more electrons with each other
to form the bond.
Each atom is left with a complete outer shell.
A covalent bond forms between two non metals

Unit 3: Chemistry. IONIC BONDING.
What is an ionic bond?
Atoms will transfer one or more electrons to another
to form the bond.
Each atom is left with a complete outer shell.
An ionic bond forms between a metal ion with a
positive charge and a non metal ion with a negative
charge.
