Ionic bonds usually occur between metal and nonmetal ions. For example, sodium (Na), a metal, and chloride (Cl), a nonmetal, form an ionic bond to make NaCl. In a covalent bond, the atoms bond by sharing electrons. Covalent bonds usually occur between nonmetals.
<span>Energy is absorbed and then released to form an emission line.
When electrons absorb energy they increase there energy level. This is only temporary and the excited electron then relaxes back down to its original energy level releasing energy.
The energy is released in form of EM radiation of a specific frequency depending on the element and how many energy levels the electron relaxes.
This forms an emission line.</span><span />
Reactants are the substances that undergo changes and the new substance created from it is called products.
