chemical bond
-an attractive force between atoms or ions
-binds them together
why do atoms bond?
-to decrease potential energy
-to increase stability

ionic compound
-composed of postive ad negative inos
-combined so that the postive and negative charges are equal (neutral net charge)
-occurs between the metal and nonmetal
-involve the transfer of electrons between atoms
