October 7 2010 -- Ionic and Covalent Compounds

Today we reviewed the properties of ionic and covalent compounds.



Ionic compounds are compounds that are made of 2 or more oppositely charged particles. They are held together by electrostatic forces and electrons are transferred from metal elements to non-metal elements.

In covalent compounds, the electrons are shared between two non-metal elements.
