They are entirely removed from one atom and attached to another
Which type of atoms typically form an ionic bond?
A metal and a non-metal
How do positive and negative ions interact in an ionic bond?

In covalent bonding, what happens to the two electrons shared by the atoms?
They are attracted to the nucleus of both atoms
What is the main difference between covalent bonding and ionic bonding?
Ionic bonding involves complete electron transfer, while covalent bonding involves electron sharing
What is an exception to the non-polar bonding rule regarding identical non-metals?
Carbon-hydrogen bond
Which factor determines the ability of an atom in a molecule to attract the shared electrons in a covalent bond?
Electronegativity (EN)
Learn about covalent bonding between non-metals where two electrons are shared between two atoms. Understand the attraction of shared electrons to the nucleus of both atoms and the characteristics of non-polar bonding with an equal sharing of electrons.
