Ions are atoms with extra electrons or missing electrons. When you are missing an electron or two, you have a positive charge

Metal atoms lose the electron, or electrons, in their highest energy level and become positively charged ions.
...........
2 of 15
Non-metal atoms gain an electron, or electrons, from another atom to become negatively charged ions.

sodium + chlorine → sodium chloride magnesium + oxygen → magnesium oxide calcium + chlorine → calcium chloride

A covalent bond forms when two non-metal atoms share a pair of electrons. The electrons involved are in the outer shells of the atoms. An atom that shares one or more of its electrons will complete its outer shell.

Simple molecules contain only a few atoms held together by covalent bonds. An example is carbon dioxide (CO2), the molecules of which contain one atom of carbon bonded with two atoms of oxygen.

Properties of simple molecular substances Low melting and boiling points - this is because little energy is needed to break the weak intermolecular forces. Do not conduct electricity - this is because they do not have any free electrons or an overal

Giant covalent structures contain very many atoms, each joined to adjacent atoms by covalent bonds. The atoms are usually arranged into giant regular lattices - extremely strong structures because of the many bonds involved.

Very high melting points – this is because a lot of strong covalent bonds must be broken. Graphite, for example, has a melting point of more than 3,600°C. Variable electrical conductivity - diamond does not conduct electricity, whereas graphite conta

elements in the same group are similar to each other the metals are on the left and the non-metals are on the right (hydrogen is a non-metal but is often put in the middle)

the main groups are numbered from 1 to 7 going from left to right, and the last group on the right is Group 0 the block in between Group 2 and Group 3 is where the transition metals are placed there are only two elements in Period 1 (hydrogen and he

metals high melting point good conductors of heat malleable (can be beaten into shape) shiny when cut ductile (can be pulled into wires)

Non-metals have a variety of properties, but very few are good conductors of electricity. Graphite (a form of carbon) is a rare example of a non-metal that conducts electricity very well.
