About Chemical Bonds
There are three types of chemical bond you should know:
- Covalent Bonds - In which atoms share electrons with one another.
- Ionic Bonds - In which electrons are transferred from one atom to another.
- Metallic Bonds - In which some electrons move freely between atoms creating lattice of positively charged ions surrounded by a sea of delocalised electrons (free electrons).
