• 3 types of bonding:

  • ionic bonding - particles are oppositely charged ions, between non-metals and metals, electrons are transferred
  • covalent bonding - particles are atoms, between non-metals and most non-metallic elements, electrons are shared
  • metallic bonding - particles are atoms, between metallic elements and alloys, electrons are delocalised
• Ionic bonding - the electrostatic attraction between the oppositely charged ions.
