Covalent bonds

• Formed by the transfer of electrons
• Formed by the sharing of electrons
• Formed by the sharing of protons
• Formed by the transfer of protons

When nonmetals react they form

• Ionic bonds
• Covalent bonds
• Metallic bonds
• Hydrogen bonds

Ionic compounds are formed

• between metals
• between non-metals
• by sharing of electrons
• between a metal and a non-metal by transfer of electrons
