Chemical bonding

Transferring or sharing electrons in the outer shell so they get full outer shells and a electron structure of a noble gas group 1: alkali metals, react with non metals to make ionic bonds with + charges group7: halogens, react with alkali metals to make ionic bonds and have negative charges.

Ionic bonding
non metal and a metal metal is + non metalions have the electron structures of a noble gas giant ionic structure is made up of a lattice of ions, in regular patterns very strong electrostatic forced of attraction between each one forces of act in all directions ionic compounds have high melting points they need a lot of energy to break them apart because of the attraction can conduct electricity when molten or in solution because they can move more freely ions can also carry current

Covalent bonding

 non metal and a non metal compounds are substances when atoms of two or more elements are chemical combined two non metals share electrons so they have full outer shells strongly attracted to the two atoms they form bonds with are called molecules. giant covalent structure are called macromolecules every atom is oined to many other atoms by strong covalent bonds. it takes alot of energy to break down the lattice high melting points
