Ionic Bonding and Covalent Bonding

What type of bonding does this picture show?

What type of bonding does this picture show?

Generally, atoms form bonds so that _______________.

Generally high melting & boiling points

In ionic bonds, electrons are ​ (a)   rather than being shared. When writing ​ a Lewis dot structure for an ionic compound, the elements' symbols are shown in a ​ (b)   with their charge and the electrons that make the ion stable. In a covalent bond, the valence electrons are ​ (c)   . When writing a Lewis dot structure for a covalent compound, the elements' symbols are written down, and the ​ (d)   electrons surround each symbol. At least one ​ (e)   of electrons are shared between the two elements.

Ionic bonds are between ​ (a)   and ​ (b)   in these compounds electrons are ​ (c)   and ​ (d)   . Covalent bonds are between nonmetals ​ In these compounds electrons are ​ (e)  

What kind of bond forms between metals and nonmetals?

Atoms of ​ (a)   elements most easily achieve a stable energy level by losing electrons from their outer level.

​ (b)   generally gain stability by gaining an electron.

Compounds that result when metals and nonmetals bond ionically with each other are called ​ (c)   compounds.

When a nonmetal gains electrons, it becomes a(n) (a)   .

An atom that has gained or lost an electron is called a(n) (a)   .
