What is the octet rule?

Back

Atoms tend to bond in such a way that they have eight electrons in their valence shell.

Front

What is the difference between an ionic compound and a covalent compound?

Back

Ionic compounds are formed from the transfer of electrons, while covalent compounds are formed from the sharing of electrons.
