Chemical Bonding — Chemistry Short Notes

<p><strong>Ionic bonding:</strong>&nbsp;This type of bond occurs when one atom transfers an electron to another atom. The atom that loses the electron becomes positively charged (cation), and the atom that gains the electron becomes negatively charged (anion). The oppositely charged ions attract each other, forming an ionic bond.</p> <p><strong>Covalent bonding:</strong>&nbsp;This type of bond occurs when two atoms share electrons. Each atom contributes one or more electrons to the shared pool, and the attraction between the electrons and the nuclei of both atoms holds the atoms together. Covalent bonds can be single, double, or triple, depending on the number of electrons shared.</p> <p><a href="https://vhtcs.medium.com/chemical-bonding-chemistry-short-notes-094973437a52"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
