A cation is an ion that has a positive charge.

Front

What is the difference between ionic and covalent bonds?

Back

Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, while covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms.

Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons in a chemical bond.

Front

What is a molecule?

Back

A molecule is a group of two or more atoms bonded together, which can be either covalent or ionic.
