Ionic bonding is somewhat like magnetism in that it involves the attraction between oppositely charged particles. In ionic bonds, atoms transfer electrons, resulting in positively charged cations and negatively charged anions that attract each other, similar to the attraction between north and south poles of magnets. This electrostatic attraction holds the ionic compounds together, analogous to how magnetic forces bind magnetic materials.

Atomic emission spectrometry is limited to alkali metals.
Ionic bonding
Anti-bonding molecular orbitals are formed due to destructive interference between atomic orbitals when they combine. This leads to a region of electron density with higher energy than the separate atomic orbitals, resulting in weak or no bonding. The presence of anti-bonding orbitals can destabilize a molecule and weaken its overall bond strength.
covalent bonding
Magnetism. They are magnetic storms.

Th bonding in potassium chloride, KCl, is ionic. The crystal contains potassium ions, K+ and chlorine anions Cl-
In covalent bonding, atoms share electrons to achieve a full outer shell. This contrasts with ionic bonding, where electrons are transferred. One phrase specific to covalent bonding is "electron sharing."
