because of the attraction between POSITIVE and NEGATIVE ions
how do ionic bonds form?
electrons are transfered gained or lost, form between a METAL an NON-METAL
how do covalent bonds form
occur with 2 NONMETALS when elements SHARE electrons
properties of an ionic compound
Strongest bond, solids at room temp., HIGH melting and boiling points, form crystals, brittle, soluble in H2O, electrolytes, opposites attract
properties of covalent bonds
weakest bond, low melting, and boiling point, liquid or gas @ room temp., DOESN’T dissolve in H2O Volatile, odorous
cation
metal,positive
anion
nonmetal, negative
