Explain ionic, covalent, and metallic bonding as electrostatic attractions involving ions, shared electrons, or delocalized electrons.
Differentiate between ionic compounds and covalent compounds. (the following points to be included in the respective definitions: a. Ionic bond as strong electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions. b. Covalent bond as strong electrostatic attraction between shared electrons and two nuclei. C. Metallic bonds as strong electrostatic attraction between cloud/sea of delocalized electrons and positively charged cations.
