What are the three types of strong chemical bonds? 
Ionic, covalent, metallic
How does ionic bonding occur in terms of particles ? 
For ionic bonding, the particles are oppositely charged ions
How does covalent bonding occur in terms of particles? 
The particles are atoms which share pairs of electrons
How does metallic bonding occur in terms of particles? 
For metallic bonding the particles are atoms which share delocalised electrons
Where does ionic bonding occur? 
Between metals and nonmetals.
Where does covalent bonding occur? 
Between nonmetals.
Where does metallic bonding occur? 
Metals
How does electrostatic forces form chemical bonds? 
The electrostatic attraction between the positively charged nuclei of the atoms and the negatively charged electrons
How does ionic bonding occur in terms of electrons? 
In ionic bonding, there is a transfer of electrons usually from the metal atom losing electrons for the nonmetal atom to gain forming an ionic bond due to the electrostatic attraction between the opposite charges
How does covalent bonding form in terms of electrons? 
In covalent bonding, there is sharing of electrons between nonmetals to form a full outer shell
How does metallic bonding occur in terms of electrons? 
In metallic bonding, metal atoms release some of their electrons, creating a "sea of delocalised electrons" that are free to move around. This results in a strong electrostatic attraction between the positively charged metal ions and the delocalized electrons, giving metals their characteristic properties like conductivity and malleability.
