What is an Ionic bond?
A bond where atoms GAIN or LOSE electrons
What is a covalent bond?
A bond where atoms SHARED electrons
An ionic bond is formed by ___.
A positive and negative ion attracting each other
In forming a covalent bond, electrons are___.
Shared by two atoms
___ is a bond where electrons are shared but not equally, which results in one atom being slightly positively charged and the other being slightly negatively charged

Structural
What are two major types of chemical reactions?
Synthesis and decomposition
___ is a type of reaction in which multiple reactants combine to form a single product. Ex. A+B–> AB
Synthesis reaction
___ is a type of chemical reaction in which a single compound breaks down into two or more elements
Ex. AB–> A+B
Decomposition reaction
___ is a reaction in which two atoms or ions exchange places either in two different molecules or in the same molecule ex. AB+CD–>AD+BC
Exchange reaction
