gain, lose, or share
two different kinds of bonding
- Ionic Bonding
- Covalent Bonding
result from the transfer of electrons from one
element to another
Ionic bonds
result from the sharing of electrons between two atoms
Covalent bonds
are formed when two nonmetals combine, or when a metalloid bonds to a nonmetal
Covalent bonds
is a compound or element containing two or more atoms joined together with covalent bonds
molecule
a ____ on the left side of the periodic table

Metals

Nonmetals
are charged species in which the number of protons and electrons in an atom is unequal
Ions
consist of oppositely charged ions that have a strong electrostatic attraction for each other
Ionic compounds
There are two types of ions
