Chemistry Year 10

Chemical bonding is when two or more elements/compounds combine to make a differnt element.

e.g. in this case the hydrogen (H) atoms have bonded with the carbon (C) atoms  

• The transfer of electrons between atoms
• occurs between metals and non-metal
• high boiling point 
• strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositly charges ions
• giant ionic lattice (atoms are formed in layers)
• are a solid at room temperature

liquid: yes 

gas: yes
