Electronegativity
ionic bond
An ionic bond forms when electrons are transferred between atoms.

ionic bond
A type of bond in which one atom gains electrons and one atom loses electrons is an ionic bond.
In an ionic bond, electrons are transferred from one atom to another. This results in the formation of positively and negatively charged ions that are attracted to each other due to their opposite charges.
The bond where each oxygen atom shares four electrons with the carbon atom is called a double bond. In a double bond, two pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms.
outer energy level electrons... called valence electrons
The tendency of an atom to attract electrons is called electronegativity. It is a measure of an atom's ability to attract and hold onto electrons in a chemical bond.
covalent bond
electronegativity
When electrons are transferred, ionic bond is formed. It is a stronger bond.
