  • Ionic bonding takes place when metals and non-metals react by transferring electrons
  • The atoms involved in ionic bonding are oppositely charged particles (ions) in which electron transfer occurs
  • In ionic bonding the opposite charges attract through electrostatic forces
  • In covalent bonding non-metal atoms share pairs of electrons between each other
  • Metallic bonding occurs in metals and metal alloys
