ionic and covalent bonding Flashcards
1:37 understand how ions are formed by electron loss or gain
Ions are electrically charged particles formed when atoms lose or gain electrons.
They have the same electronic structures as noble gases.
Metal atoms form positive ions (cations).
Non-metal atoms form negative ions (anions).

1:41 understand ionic bonding in terms of electrostatic attractions
Ionic bonding: a strong electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.
1:44 know that a covalent bond is formed …
A covalent bond is formed between two non-metal atoms by sharing a pair of electrons in order to fill the outer shell.
