Hi I am Nitrogen. I am also a nonmetal.I am 5 years old and have 5 valence electrons.

Hi Im Chlorine. I am a Nonmetal!

We can make an ionic bond!

The three types of chemical bonds are ionic, covalent, and polyatomic.
What exactly are the three types of chemicals bonds?

Oh so I understand, 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.

Covalent bonds and ionic bonds have different characteristics!
Some of the characteristics of covalent compounds are usually low melting points and boiling points.
Some of the characteristics about ionic bonds are high melting points and hard but brittle.

The way you determine a ionic bond is a nonmetal will gain valence electrons (usually more than 4) and the metals will lose valence electrons ( usually less than 4) .
The way you determine a covalent bond is the nonmetal and metal share electrons.
