Ionic bonding formed when one atom has sufficient strength of attraction to remove ion from the other atom. Covalent bonding occurs when neither atom has sufficient strength to remove the other atom's electron. They would instead share electrons to form stable configurations of electrons.

  • thank you ^__^

  • @SloanyPM yup you're right, this totally has a sexual preference for homosexuals.

  • This vid is soo good my teacher MADE us use it in our homework.

  • This video is really helpful. I'm currently studying for a HUGE science test and I think I got it. Thanks!

  • so stoked on this video

  • SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER

    I know that in an ionic bond the ions attract eachother due to electric forces.

    I know that in a metallic bond the metal atoms share each others electrons and that the electrons flow freely around each nucleus in the bond, thus allowing metal to give way to electricity.

    What I am wondering about in regards to covalent bonds is whether the molecules, be it H or O or whatever, bond due to electric forces or do they work the same way as in a metallic bond?

    THANKS

  • u really need to imagine chemistry.... this video is quite good :D

  • Technically, the electrons don't have well-defined paths. All you can do is use the Schrodinger equation to calculate the orbitals, and you then know that there's a 90% chance that the electron is somewhere in that orbital.

  • This shit is fucking gay

  • I don't get it.
