The image above shows the movement of electrons when calcium encounters chlorine. Since this is a metal and nonmetal interaction, this would be classified as IONIC. Note that the result is separate metal and nonmetal ions, with the charges attracting each other to keep the compound together.
OBJ:
1. define COVALENT and determine how such a bond is made
2. define IONIC and determine how such a bond is made
3. construct electron dot formulas (Lewis Diagrams) to illustrate ionic and covalent bonds

Ionic structures are those created from IONS, individual atoms that have a charge. RECOGNITION: Metal (+) and a Nonmetal (-) stuck together. EXAMPLES: NaCl, MgI2
Covalent structures are created by SHARING (co... like cohabitate, cooperate) electrons. RECOGNITION: Nonmetals only in a compound. EXAMPLES: CO2, PCl3
