  • Atoms are everywhere, and these atoms consist of electrons. So how do electrons help make up everything?
  • H₂O
  • H

  • electrons
  • negative nonmetal
  • One way electrons help make up everything is by Metallic Bonding. Metallic Bonding is between electrons that form metals. An example is the bonding of Copper.

  • covalent bond

  • positive metal
  • In Metallic Bonds, metal ions float around in a "sea of mobile electrons" around positively charged atomic nuclei of the interacting metal ions.
  • M

  • ionic bond
  • negative nonmetal

  • Another type of bonding, is Covalent Bonding. Covalent Bonding is the sharing of valence electrons between 2 or more atoms. An example of this is H₂O as seen above.
  • Covalent Bonds are formed between nonmetals and nonmetals.
  • The third and final type of bonding is called Ionic bonding. Ionic bonds are electrostatic forces of attraction between ions of metals (cations) and nonmetals (anions).
