its a good day todaytime to meet and bondwith a classmate.
CI
Hi Im Cory Chlorine.I am a Nonmetal!
CI
Hello, my name is Nicky Nitrogen. I'm a nonmetal as well.and have a valence electron count of 5.
N
We can make a ionic bond!
N
yes you are right.
The three kinds of chemical bonds are ionic, covalent, and polyatomic.
CI
N
Oh now i understood it, isnt a ionic bond where its the  attraction between two oppisitley charged ions?
Yes, also another bond which is the covalent bond is a chemical bond formed when two atoms share electrons.
Oh yeah, and the third type of bond is the polyatomic bond, is the combination of ionic and covalent bonds.
CI
N
Covalent bonds and ionic bonds have different characteristics!
Some of the characteristics about ionic bonds are high melting points and hard but brittle.
Low melting temperatures and boiling points are common properties of covalent compounds.
One of the properties of polyatomic ions is that their charge is proportional to their oxidation number.
CI
A polyatomic ion is defined as having at least two nonmetals and one metal.
N
A nonmetal will receive valence electrons (typically more than 4) and a metal will lose valence electrons (usually less than 4) to form an ionic connection.
The way  you determine a covalent bond is the nonmetal and metal share electrons.
