Bonding
|
The joining of two atoms in a stable arrangement. Always leads to lowered energy and increased stability.

Through bonding, atoms attain a complete outer shell of valence e-
|
|
Ionic Bonds
|
Result from the transfer of electrons from one element to another. Generally occurs when elements on the far left side of the periodic table combine with elements on the far right side. The resulting ions are held together by extremely strong electrostatic interactions.

Molecule (bonds)
|
Has only covalent bonds
