If three or more elements are bonded together in a compound (Eg. H2SO4) then that compound is called a "Polyatomic" ion. "Poly" meaning three or more.
If there are only two atoms, it is Diatomic (Di meaning two). An example of a diatomic molecule would be CO2.
Cations donate atoms to form an ionic bond.

When electrons are transferred between two atoms a covalent bond is formed is known as an ionic bond.
occurs in gas molecules; also known as diatomic elements.

Cations donate atoms to form an ionic bond.
A compound is formed when atoms of two or more elements form a chemical bond with each other to create a substance which has different properties than those of the elements from which it was formed. The valence bond model assumes that a chemical bond is formed when there is good overlap between the atomic orbitals of participating atoms
It is a bond formed by the attraction between two oppositely charged ions. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When atoms of different elements exchange an electron (ie one donates one or more electrons to the other), then an Ionic bond between the atoms is made
covalent bond
Yes !
When covalent bonds are formed between atoms, they become more stabilized than the individual atoms summed altogether.
A covalent bond is formed between two atoms with similar electronegativity.
The answer depends on how the bond is formed. The bond between two atoms could be an ionic bond if the electrons are transferred between the two atoms or the bond could be covalent if the electrons are shared between the two atoms.

Have you heard of the term "bond energy"? The bonds between atoms of the same element, and atoms of different elements all contain a certain amount of energy. When a bond is broken, energy is released. When a bond is formed, energy is required. For example, two Carbon atoms bonding (they can have a C-C single bond, a C=C double bond, or a triple bond).
