Q

Ionic bond

A

Force of attraction between opposing charged Ions. (Transfered or taken) Ionic bonds = metal+ nonmetal. Ionic bonds are also called metallic bonds.

Q

Covalent bonds

A

A force of attraction between the nuclei of atoms and electrons shared by the atoms. covalent bonds are also called molecular bonds. (Shared) Non-metal+Non-metal Metalloid+Non-metal.
