Describe the ways in which bonds may be formed.
Bonds form between atoms to stabilize their electron configuration. There are two main types of bonds: Ionic Bonds: Form when one atom donates electrons to another, resulting in oppositely charged ions that attract each other (e.g., NaCl). Covalent Bonds: Form when two atoms share electrons to complete their outer shells (e.g., Hâ‚‚O, Oâ‚‚). Metallic Bonds: … Read more
