Answer: -Ionic bonds form when one atom provides electrons to another atom. Covalent Bonds: Covalent bonds form when two atom shares their valence electrons. Metallic Bonds: Metallic bonds form when a variable number of atoms share a variable number of electrons in a metal lattice.

-Covalent Bonds.

Covalent Compounds. Contain no metals and no ions. Covalent compounds contain nonmetals only.

Example:

Ionic Compounds. A metal with a non-metal. Doesn't use prefixes for naming. Name the metal and change the nonmetal ending to -ide.

Explanation: Ionic bonds form when a nonmetal and a metal exchange electrons, while covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between two nonmetals. An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions.
