  • Atoms giving away, taking or sharing electrons
  • Non-metal + metal
  • Non-metal + non-metal
  • Compound formed from non-metals
  • Compound formed from non-metal + metal

Effects

  • Form chemical bonds with other atoms creating compounds
  • Creates bond
  • Ionic bond
  • Covalent bond
  • Consists of molecules
  • Consists of ions

Overall summary

Different elements react  to from chemical bonds with one another to create a compound. When you have 2 non-metals reacting together you get a Covalent bond which consists of molecules. If you have a non-metal and metal reacting together this is an ionic bond and consists of ions.
