Ionic-Covalent Bonds
Ionic Bonds
bond in which one or more electrons from one atom are removed and attached to another atom, resulting in positive and negative ions which attract each other.
Covalent Bonds
Covalent bonding is the sharing of electrons between atoms. This type of bonding occurs between two atoms of the same element or of elements close to each other in the periodic table. This bonding occurs primarily between nonmetals; however, it can also be observed between nonmetals and metals.
