Considering the different types of atoms (metals and nonmetals) and the sharing, or give/take of valence electrons, describe the differences between covalent bonding and ionic bonding with respect to the types of atoms that undergo each and how their valence electrons interact.

Respuesta :

Covalent bonding is the sharing of electrons by two non-metal atoms in order to gain more stability (a full electron shell). Whereas, ionic bonding is when a metal gives an electron to a non-metal is order to make both of them stable.
