a chemical bond in which one atom loses an electron to form a positive ion and the other atom gains an electron to form a negative ion
 * what is an ionic bond


 * what are the diffrences between ionic and covalent bonds

Covalent Compounds

 Ionic Compunds:
 * Share valence electrons
 * Two nonmetals
 * Low melting point
 * Gas/liquid at room temperature
 * Molecules
 * Transfer of electrons
 * Metal and nonmetals
 * High melting point
 * Crystalline solid at room temperature
 * Crystals

(Given) Lead (II) Chromate (Formula) Pb(CrO4)
 * Since there is a metal in this bond it is ionic so that means the charges will balence out and since they have the same charge no extra elements are needed



(Given) Hypochlorous acid (Formula) HCl
 * Since Hydrogen is in the bond it is an acid and since "hydro" is included in the name all we do is stick these together



(Given) Mercury Sulfate acid (Formula) HHg2SO4
 * Since "acid" is at the end of the name we know hydrogen is being bonded to the other elements now all i need is tomake the charges match since hydrogen is 2- and sulfate Is 2- all and mercury is 1- all we need is Hg2



(Given) Phosphuric acid (Formula) H3PO4
 * Since acid is at the end yet AGAIN..... we know hydrogen is being bonded all we need is to finish it off by equalizing the bond
