What is ionic bonding?
A strong electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions
Characteristics of ionic compounds ?
- high boiling point and melting point as strong electrostatic forces
- conductive in solutions
What is covalent bonding ?
A shared pair of electrons between two non metal atoms . They achieve a full outer shell by sharing the electrons. They are attracted to the others nuclei
Set definition of covalent bonding
A strong attraction between the bonding pair of electrons and the nuclei involved in the atoms of the bond
