1. A covalent bond is a form of chemical bonding that is characterized by the sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms, and other covalent bonds.

2. An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond that involves a metal and a nonmetal ion through electrostatic attraction.

3. Ionic Bonds:

Ionic bonds are bonds that are formed between two atoms, usually a metal and a non-metal through loosing or gaining an electron. The metal looses one or more electrons and the non-metal gains one or more electrons. What this does is it makes "ions" ions are atoms that are charged because they gained or lost an electron. These ions have a positive (for the metal) or negative (for the non-metal) charge and because of that they attract to each other and form the ionic bond.

Covalent Bonds:

Covalent bonds are usually between two non-metals. Covalent bonds involve atoms that share electrons; these atoms do not loose or gain electrons but instead will share them to gain a full outer energy level. By sharing electrons each atom pulls on them and the atoms form a bond through the electron sharing known as the covalent bonds.

Given:Name- Nitrous Acid / Formula-HNO2 The -ous ending tells me that i need to use rule #2 which also meens nitrous use to be nitrite which means the formula is HNO2

Given:Formula- H2SO4 / Name-Sulfuric Acid SO4 ends in -ate which means that i change sulfate to sulfuric then just add acid

Given:Formula- C4H10 / Name-tetra carbon decahydride 4 is tetra and 10 is deca the add ide to the end

Given:Name- Iron(III) Chloride / Formula-FeCl2 Iron(III) has a charge of 2+ and chloride has a charge of 1-
