ionic bonding
the complete transfer of valence electrons between atoms
How are ionic bonds formed?
formed by atoms stealing electrons to obtain a full valence orbital
polyatomic ions
ions that are made up of several nonmetalic atoms
Convalent bond
bond formed when non-metalic atoms share electrons; atoms in a molecule are bound together by convalent bonds
Molecular element
Element that forms molecules made up of its own atoms.
