Describe Chemical bond.
|
Metal(+) has too much of something and is unstable. Non-Metal doesn't have enough of something, it is unstable. An exchange of materials (electrons) occurs, now they are electrically charged, attract like a magnets. They attrack and repell. Chemical Ionic bonding. No longer an atom, now an ION.
