Octet Rule
- Atoms tend to form compounds that achieve eight valence electrons, as stated by the octet rule
Ionic Bond
- Ionic bonds form between a metal and a nonmetal
- A cation and an anion interact via the transfer of valence electron(s)
- NaCl (Sodium Chloride) is an example of an ionic bond
Ionic Compound Examples
