Introduction to Bonding
Chemical bonding describes a variety of interactions that hold atoms together in chemical compounds.
Ionic Bonds
Ionic bonds are a subset of chemical bonds that result from the transfer of valence electrons, typically between a metal and a nonmetal.
Covalent Bonds
Covalent bonding involves two atoms, typically nonmetals, sharing valence electrons.
