These bonds tend to be ionic. However, all bonds are somewhere between purely ionic and purely covalent.

How are ionic bonds the same as metalic bonds and covalent bonds?

Ionic bonds, metallic bonds, and covalent bonds are all types of chemical bonds that hold atoms together. They differ in terms of the way electrons are shared or transferred between atoms. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, metallic bonds involve a "sea" of delocalized electrons shared between metal atoms, and covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between nonmetal atoms.

Can ionic bonds be established between identical atoms?

No, ionic bonds are formed between atoms of different elements that have significantly different electronegativities. Identical atoms have the same electronegativities, so they do not form ionic bonds.


Why do elements form bond?

Elements form bonds because of the attractions between atoms or ions. There are several types of bonds such as ionic, covalent and metallic bonds.


What kinds of bonds can happen between the elements and compounds?

Elements and compounds can form ionic bonds, covalent bonds, or metallic bonds. In ionic bonds, electrons are transferred from one atom to another. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms. Metallic bonds occur in metals where electrons are free to move between atoms.
