IONIC BONDING

28
Q

A chemical bond formed by the sharing a pair of electrons between atoms

A

COVALENT BONDINGS

29
Q

Valence electron shared between atoms are free to move from one atom to another accounting for a hugh electrical conductivity

A

METALLIC BONDING

30
Q

FORCES INCLUDES ATTRACTIONS AND REPULSION BETWEEN SURFACE, Atom, Molecules. Created by weak bonding of oppositely depolarized electron clouds and commonly occurs around covalently bonded elements
