a chemical bond that involves sharing a pair of electrons between atoms in a molecule-- [|wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn] 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-- [|wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn] = = Ionic compounds are between metals and non-metals; covalent compounds are between only non-metals.([|http://wiki.answers.com);][|ionic]  bonding, the electrons are totally __transferred__ from one of the bonding atoms to the othe r; ionic compounds are very good conductors of electricity.;covalent bonding requires molecules to exist in their true form so covalent molecules are not attracted to each other but exist freely in liquids or gases at room temperature (.http://www.differencebetween.net/) Type in the content of your page here.

 * // HCl--hydrochloric acid //** //I knew this was an acid due to hydrogen being in front of the formula. Knowing this, I used rule number 1 in naming acids. Hydrogen was bonded to chlorine (chloride);;since the name of the anion ended in -ide I then knew to change ' chloride ' to ' chloric ' with -hydro- in front;;I then finished it off with adding the word "acid " to the end of the name.// ======

=
Sulfurous acid--H2SO3 I knew this was an acid due to the word " acid " on the end of it;;looking at the end of ' sulfurous ',, I knew that it followed rule number 2. So knowing it was an acid I kne w to put -H- in front of the following formula;;Then seeing that rule number 2 stated that"if the anion ends in -ite then you replace the ending with -ous" I kne w {sulfurous } was orginally **sulfite** whose symbol was SO3;;I then crossed the charges _&& got the formula above for sulfurous acid.. ======

=
phosphorus monoselenide--PSe// Due to the prefix -mono, I kne w it was a covalent compound and not an acid. Since there wasn't a prefix on phosphorus, I knew it had 1 atom in the formula so i simply put the symbol for the element in the formula above. Then seeing -mono in front of selenide, I knew it was just consisting of one atom also;;so I just simply wrote the symbol for selenium** in the formula. ======
