As a start:
Electrons that are not share between atoms. covalent bonds along with pie bonds require two electrons per bond. the two electrons in the bond are shared electrons or bonding electrons.
Atoms such as oxygen and nitrogen have electrons that are not part of a bond. Oxygen is in group VI so it wants to have 6 electrons around it. it gets 2 of its electrons from bonds. the other 4 come from non bonding electrons or two pair of electrons.
Nitrogen is in group V so it only wants 5 electrons. Thus, it has three bonds and one non bonding electron pair.
pairs that dont bond
A polar bond is that one between 2 nonmetal atoms that have different electronegativities and therefore have unequal sharing of the bonding electron pair. A non polar bond is between 2 nonmetal atoms that have the same electronegativity and therefore have equal sharing of the bonding electron pair.
Potassium loses its one valence electron to form a cation with a +1 charge. This will allow it bond easily with non-metal anions to form an ionic compound with an ionic bond.
An Ionic bond is metals bonding to non-metals. A Covalent bond is non-metals bonding to non-metals.
Well, a covalent bond is a bond between anything. An ionic bond is a bond in which the non-metal takes an electron from the metal that it's bonding to. Since the metal has lost an electron, it becomes positively charged, and the non-metal, which has gained an electron becomes negatively charged. And so they bond together, as a polar molecule. So an ionic bond is always going to be a metal bonded to a non-metal. Make sense?
Covalent bonding is when 2 non metals bond together as opposed to ionic bonding when one metal and gas ion bond together.
bonding electrons are when the electron have the same number and the connect,like valence electrons. Non-bonding electrons are only possible when an atom is unstable, no more than 2 electrons or if the atom is an isotope. bonding electron pairs occur in a covalent bond between two atoms. they include one electron from each atom in the covalent bond. non-bonding pairs do not take part in bonding. they are the left over electrons in the outter shell of the atom.
A polar bond is that one between 2 nonmetal atoms that have different electronegativities and therefore have unequal sharing of the bonding electron pair. A non polar bond is between 2 nonmetal atoms that have the same electronegativity and therefore have equal sharing of the bonding electron pair.

An Ionic bond is metals bonding to non-metals. A Covalent bond is non-metals bonding to non-metals.

A proton or hydrogen ion (H+) is electron deficient and on its own is not stable. To become stable it will bond covalently with a non-bonding electron pair on another atom (such as nitrogen or oxygen) to achieve the electron configuration of helium. This type of bonding is a coordinate covalent bond. It is similar to a normal covalent bond only one atom in the bond contributes both electrons rather than each atom contributing one. This type of bonding is common in polyatomic ions.
A metal tends to form an ionic bond with a non-metal. Metals bonding with other metals form a metallic bond, and non-metals bonding with other non-metals form a covalent bond.
Covalent bonding is when 2 non metals bond together as opposed to ionic bonding when one metal and gas ion bond together.
A metallic bond is non-directional.
A metal tends to form an ionic bond with a non-metal. Metals bonding with other metals form a metallic bond, and non-metals bonding with other non-metals form a covalent bond.
This question doesn't make sense. For a bond to form, you must have a compound such as NaCl. To determine the number of bonds, the Lewis structure must be drawn. It is a single bond, so that means that the bond type is a sigma bond.A second opinion:The questioner may be asking about the bonding in sodium metal. The bonding in metals is, not surprisingly, referred to as metallic bonding. The "free" electrons are delocalized and can move easily through the metal, allowing for electrical and heat conduction.
Sodium chloride (NaCl) is an ionic compound. Bonding that occurs between a metal and a non-metal are generally ionic bonding, which bonding between non-metals are always result in the formation of covalent bonds. The sodium atom preferentially loses its single valence electron, which gives it a +1 charge. On the other hand, to achieve octet structure, the chloride atom gains an electron to result in an -1 charge. As such, the 2 ions attract each other and bond to form an ionic compound.
