- ionic compounds
- the ionic bonds have a strong electrostatic force of attraction between a positive charged metal and a negative charged non-metal
- ions are formed when atoms gain or loose electrons giving them an overall charge
- ionic compounds are held by strong forces of attraction that act in all directions oppositely charged ions
- the metal atoms loose elctrons to become positive charge
- non-metals gain electrons to be negatively charged
- ions have a complete outer shell of electrons
- ionic bonding involves transfering electrons form metal atoms to non-metal atoms
- an ion is a charged particle
