Iroinic bonds are form when two atoms are <em> </em> electrons from each other to complete the bond. This results in a pair of ions.


<u>Covalent bonds:</u>

  • Have a definite shape.
  • Have a low melting point.
  • At room temperature they are in a liquid or gas.
  • They occur between two non-metals.

<u>Ionic bonds:</u>

  • Have no definite shape.
  • Have a high melting point.
  • At room temperature they are solid.
  • They occur between a metal and a nonmetal.
