18
Q

These are fairly strong bonds while dry – but are weak in water so they dissolve into ions.

A

Ionic bonds

Q

These bonds are created by gaining or losing electrons between elements so that each element can fill its’ outer most shell.

A

Ionic bond

20
Q

possess a positive charge because it has more protons than electrons.
