Question

4.2 - combination of atoms (notes) review questions: 1. what are ionic bonds and covalent bonds? - 2. which particles are produced by different types of bonding? - vocab: atom: the smallest piece of matter that still retains the properties of the element ionic bond - covalent bond -

Explanation:

1. Ionic bonds form when one atom donates electrons to another, creating ions that attract each other. Covalent bonds form when atoms share electrons.
2. Different types of bonding produce ions (in ionic bonding) and molecules (in covalent bonding).

Answer:

1. Ionic bonds are formed by the transfer of electrons between atoms creating positive and negative ions that attract each other. Covalent bonds are formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms.
2. Ionic bonding produces ions, covalent bonding produces molecules.
