Ionic compounds are formed when a metal atom transfers one or more electrons to a nonmetal atom. This results in the formation of positively charged ions (cations) from the metal atoms and negatively charged ions (anions) from the nonmetal atoms.
Ionic compounds are formed when a metal atom transfers one or more electrons to a nonmetal atom. This results in the formation of positively charged ions (cations) from the metal atoms and negatively charged ions (anions) from the nonmetal atoms.
The cations and anions are attracted to each other by electrostatic forces, forming an ionic bond.
Covalent compounds are formed when two or more atoms share one or more pairs of electrons. The electrons are shared in a way that allows each atom to achieve a stable electron configuration.
