Describe the difference between an Ionic and a covalent bond
In covalent bonds, atoms share electrons
in ionic bonds atoms transfer electrons
The reaction components of covalent bonds are electrically neutral, and for ionic bonds they are both charged.
Describe the difference between a proton, neutron, and electron
Proton=positive
electron=negative
neutron=no charge
The charge on the proton and electron are exactly the same size but opposite. The same number of protons and electrons exactly cancel one another in a neutral atom
