Describe covalent and ionic bonding.
Covalent bonding- is more of a sharing of electrons between two atoms
Ionic bonding- is the giving of electrons from an atom with a low electronegativity value to an atom with a high electronegativity value
What is electronegativity?
Shows how much an atom wants electrons
List the electronegativity values for:
H- 2.1
Na- 0.9
Cl- 3.0
O - 3.5
