Atoms will combine with each in order to become more chemically stable. Compounds are formed between two atoms that have
levels. The two types of compounds that can be formed between atoms are ionic and covalent.
Ionic compounds are formed between two

lose electrons to form positive ions and nonmetals will gain electrons to form negative ions. These oppositely charge ions are very attracted to each other and
form very strong bonds as a result. lonic compounds are characterized by crystalline structure,
melting and boiling points, and are
