I've a test coming up on covalent and ionic bonds and I'm not even sure I understand what the difference between the two is.

I've a test coming up on covalent and ionic bonds and I'm not even sure I understand what the difference between the two is.
ionic bonds r formed by electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions. because atoms like to have a full outer shell, one atom will donate an electron to another atom. this results in one atom having a negative charge (because they gained an electron) and the other has a positive charge (because they lost an electron), and thus they become attracted to each other. for example, salt NaCl, the Na atom donates an electron to the Cl. that way both atoms will have full outer shells
covalent bonding is when two atoms share electrons with each other so that they both have full outer shells. take chloride as an example, ie. Cl2 - a chlorine atom has 7 electrons in its outer shell. if a chlorine atom shares one of those electrons with another chlorine atom then they both have 8 electrons ie. a full outer shell. as a result of sharing electrons, they are now covalently bonded.
in reality all of the above is a load of nonsense and all compounds will exhibit both ionic and covalent bonding behaviour but unless ur doing university level chemistry, i wouldnt worry about that
Oh my thank you, that's very helpful. I'm gonna write all this down.

I don't have my homework with me but when I look at it I'll probably be confused by some of it, so I may PM you later, if that's okay.If you need help, I'm always available.
r u familiar with lewis diagrams? aka the dot and cross electon system? thats the easiest way to represent covalent bonds
Yeah, we did some of those in class so I'm kinda familiar with them, but my teacher didn't really explain how to make them so I may not understand them completely.r u familiar with lewis diagrams? aka the dot and cross electon system? thats the easiest way to represent covalent bonds

Some jerk on here spoiled Over The Garden Wall for me. Thanks a ton, man.
I'M SICK UGH
and my neighbor is about to get capped. idk what that sound is if it's your crap subs or what but I'm sick and agitated, I stg I will come over there in my pajamas covered in kleenex and kick whatever electronic is making that sound to death

I hate the college I picked. I wasted good scholarship money and I regret it everyday. ._.

Pants are unreliable now-a-days; it doesn't necessarily mean anything about your weight.
I bought a new pair of pants that were loose fitting a few days ago from Kohls. Today I went to zipper up and part of the zipper track broke off! There goes $40.
Yeah, I do think I over use them as well. Because I dont find 5.6 and 153 lbs is that much of a wieght :c
You are perfect, pants just don't know how to work. I can still fit in to some pants I wore in 6th grade but the shorts and 7th grade pants refuse to fit.

i would like to gently put my hands around all of my teacher's necks, gently cooing to them as i ****ING CHOKE THEM
All that aside, I just wanna' sleep in. Being out of school for a week has taken a bad drive on me. I wish it was winter break.
