• For ionic bonding the particles are...

  • oppositely charged ions
• For covalent bonding the particles are...

  • atoms which share pairs of electrons
• For metallic bonding the particles are...

  • atoms which share delocalised electrons
• Ionic bonding is between...

  • metals and non-metals
• Covalent bonding is between...

  • non-metal and non-metal
• Metallic bonding is between...

  • metal and metal
• When a metal atom reacts with a non-metal atom, electrons in the outer shell of the metal are transferred.
