Free metal atoms form metallic bonds, and a significant feature of metallic bonds is the existence of a 'sea of electrons' . This is different from ionic compounds, where ions of opposite charges attract one another electrostatically and there are no free electrons.
Ionic bonding forms compounds.
How can you compare covalent bonding and ionic bonding with soccer
It is ionic bonding because Na is sodium which is a metal and Cl is chlorine which is a nonmetal. Ionic Bonding happens between nonmetals and nonmetals.
All salts are ionic
Ionic bonding is based on electrostatic attraction between ions.
Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons. Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons.
Ionic and covalent bonding involve electrons. Ionic bonding involves the loss and gain of electrons, form ions. Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons.
There are two kinds of bonding; ionic and covalent. Ionic bonds form between metals and non-metals. Covalent bonds form between non-metals
