- Ionic Bonding
- Between metal atom and non-metal atom
- Transfer of electrons from one atom to the other
- Atoms that lose electrons become positively charged
- Atoms that gain electrons become positively charged
- Atoms in Groups 1-3 will lose electrons
- Atoms in groups 6-7 will gain electrons
- High boiling and melting points
- Giant structures held together by strong forces of attraction.
- Have no overall charge- total positive charge must equal the total negative charge in any sample of any ionic compound
