Front

Define Ionic Bonding.

Back

Ionic bonding is the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, typically formed when electrons are transferred from one atom to another.

Front

Define Covalent Bonding.

Back

Covalent bonding is the sharing of electron pairs between atoms, typically occurring between nonmetals.
