- Bonding
- Ionic
- Definition : Ionic bonding is the result of electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions. The positive ions are formed from metals (usually) and negative ions are usually formed from non-metals
- Examples include: NaCl, AgCl, FeO, Fe2O3
- Covalent
- Examples include: Methane, Ammonia, CO2, H2, Hydrogen Cyanide
- Shared Electrons
- Metallic
- A type of atomic bond that occurs when atoms "share" electrons that float about in a general electron cloud. Metals are held together by metallic bonds.
- Examples include: Mg2+
- Ionic
- Shared Electrons
