This is the first day at Electron Elementary. Proton Elementary is not far from here!
NaCI
Hi i am NaCI youcan call me Sodium chlorideI have 11 protons and electrons and i have 1 valence electron
Covalent bonds and ionic bonds have different characteristics!

What exactly are the two of chemicals bonds?
The two types of chemical bonds are ionic, covalent.

Oh so I understand, isnt a ionic bond where its the attraction between two oppisitley charged ions?
Yes, also another bond which is the covalent bond is a chemical bond formed when two atoms share electrons.

Some of the characteristics about ionic bonds are high melting points and hard but brittle.
of covalent compounds are usually low melting points and boiling points. characteristicsSome of the

The way you determine a ionic bond is a nonmetal will gain valence electrons (usually more than 4) and the metals will lose valence electrons ( usually less than 4) .
The way you determine a covalent bond is the nonmetal and metal share electrons.
