Ionic vs Covalent

What is Ionic Bonding?

• One Atom fully transfers a valence electron to another.

• A bond exclusively between metals.

• When an element with extra electrons shares its extra electrons.

• A compound of different elements.

Octet Rule is when all Atoms need to have how many electrons?

What is Covalent Bonding?

• Sharing an Electron Pair between 2 atoms.

• A bond with non-metals.

• One Atom fully transfers a valence electron to another.

What is an example of an Ionic Compound?

• NaCl

• N2

• CO2

• CH4

What is an example of an Covalent Compound?

• NaCl

• LiF

• CH4

• KCl

Cations are

• Negative

• Positive

Anions are

• Negative

• Positive

What is a single bond?

• when two electrons are shared between two atoms in a single line.

• A bond exclusively between metals.

• One Atom fully transfers a valence electron to another.

• A bond with non-metals.

Covalent Bonds share valence electrons from:

• Non-Metal to Non-Metal

• Metal-Metal

• Non-Metal to Metal

Ionic Bonds share Valence Electrons from:

• Non-Metal to Metal

• Metal to Non-metal

• Non-Metal to Non-Metal

• Metal to Metal
