Ionic and Covalent Bonding

Comparing the transfer and sharing of electrons between different types of atoms.

Key Questions

  1. 1Why do atoms seek to achieve a full outer shell through bonding?
  2. 2How does the electronegativity difference between atoms predict the bond type?
  3. 3What evidence do we have for the lattice structure of ionic compounds?
