Ionic Bonding

Dissociates into ions (charged atoms) that are freely moving and can conduct electricity

• Electrons are transferred from metal to non-metal

Covalent Bonding

Does not dissociate, no ions

• electrons are shared

Ionic Compound

• High melting and boiling point

• Complex crystal lattic

• Good Conductor when liquid or dissolved

Molecular Compound

• Low melting and boiling point

• Individual molecules

• Poor conductor

Valence Electrons

• The outer most energy level, so they’re most available and attraction to nucleus is not as strong as core electrons

Which electrons in an atom are likely to be involved in bonding to other atoms? Why?
