Ionic Bonding

A bond formed by the transfer of electrons from a metal atom to a non-metal atom. This creates a positive metal ion (cation) and a negative non-metal ion (anion). The oppositely charged ions are attracted to each other, forming the ionic bond.

Covalent Bonding

A bond formed by the sharing of electrons between two non-metal atoms. In this sharing, both atoms gain a stable electron configuration.

Ionic Compound

A compound formed when a metal and a non-metal react. The metal atom loses electrons to form a positive ion (cation) and the non-metal atom gains electrons to form a negative ion (anion). These ions are held together by electrostatic attraction, forming the ionic compound.
