Ionic bonds are formed when metal atoms combine with nonmetal atoms. Metal atoms tend to lose electrons to form positive ions, while nonmetal atoms tend to gain electrons to form negative ions, resulting in the attraction between the oppositely charged ions forming the ionic bond.
Ionic compounds generally result when nonmetal atoms chemically combine with metal atoms. This occurs through the transfer of electrons from the metal to the nonmetal, creating positively charged metal cations and negatively charged nonmetal anions that are held together by electrostatic forces.
Covalent bonds are typically formed between nonmetal atoms. These atoms share electron pairs to achieve a stable electron configuration.
When atoms combine, they form molecules. The type of molecule formed depends on the atoms involved and how they bond with each other. Bonding can occur through ionic bonds (transfer of electrons) or covalent bonds (sharing of electrons).
Ionic bonds typically involve the bonding of metal atoms with nonmetal atoms. Metal atoms donate electrons to nonmetal atoms, resulting in the formation of positively charged cations (from metal atoms) and negatively charged anions (from nonmetal atoms), which are then held together by electrostatic forces.
No, ammonia is not a salt. It is a compound composed of nitrogen and hydrogen atoms. Salts are ionic compounds formed when a metal cation and a nonmetal anion combine through ionic bonding.
Metal atoms.
atoms combine to give molecules
These are covalent compounds.
When two atoms combine, they can form a molecule or a compound, depending on the type of atoms involved. A molecule is formed when two atoms of the same element combine, while a compound is formed when atoms of different elements combine. This combination is achieved through chemical bonding.
Chemical bonds are formed by sharing of atoms.
Molecules are formed when atoms lose electrons and then attach themselves to other atoms
when 2 atoms combine
A compound.

A covalent bond is formed by sharing electrons between atoms. This type of bond occurs between nonmetal atoms.
If atoms of same element combine, we say that element is existing in its real state (or simply a molecule of that element is formed). If two atoms of different elements combine, a compound is formed.
