• Ionic bonding occurs between two oppositely charged ions that are attracted to one another due to electrostatic forces. To form the ions, an (metal) atom will lose valence(s) to form a full valence shell and become stable. The electron(s) lost will be gained by another (non-metal) atom for it to have a full valence shell and become stable. This forms the anion and cation which form the ionic bond and result in an ionic compound.
• covalent bonding occurs between two or more non-metal elements when they share pairs of valence electrons in order to achieve a full valence shell and become stable
• ion: an atom or molecule that has gained or lost valence electrons and now has a positive or negative charge
• Acid and Metal: Metal + Acid --> Salt + Hydrogen gas
• Acid and metal carbonate: Acid + Metal Carbonate --> Salt + CO2 + Water
• Acid and base: Acid + Base --> Salt + Water
