  • Bonding
    • Covalent
      • A strong bond between two non-metals
      • The atoms involved share elctrons
      • Carbon can form four covalent bonds
      • Nitrogen makes three covalent bonds
    • Ionic
      • Ionic compounds have high boiling and melting points
      • The forces of attraction  between oppositely charged ions are called ionic bonding
      • In ionic bonding the electrons are transferred from one atom to another.
      • Ionic bonding can cause an atom to become negatively charged
