What are ionic, and (polar & non-polar) covalent bonds?
A charged particle that forms when an atom or group of atoms gains or loses one or more electrons.
What is ion?
An equal sharing of electron pairs between bonding atoms.
What are non-polar covalent bonds?

What is atomic radius?
Bonds between the metals and nonmetals on the periodic table.
What is an ionic bond?
The electrons in which bonding occurs.
What are valence electrons?
