Hi there.
00:03
In this question, we are looking at the two types of compounds formed from two different types of bonding.
00:11
We have ionic compounds and covalent compounds, often known as molecular compounds.
00:30
Okay, so let's talk for a moment about each of these.
00:33
Ionic compounds are formed from one metal, which loses one or more electrons to become a cation and one non -metal, which gains one.
00:45
Or more electrons to become a negative ion known as an anion.
00:54
So in other words, electrons have been transferred from the metal to the non -metal.
01:05
This forms ions of opposite charges, which are then electrostatically attracted to each other to form the bond, since they're oppositely charged.
01:20
All right, covalent compounds are composed of two or more non -metals.
01:32
And in these, electrons are shared, between atoms.
01:40
And this is what forms the bond...
