Valence Electron

Ionic Bonding

Covalent Bonding

of main-group elements tend to combine in such a way that

each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell, giving it the
same electronic configuration as a noble gas.
An electron that is associated with an atom, and that can
participate in the formation of a chemical bond; in a single
covalent bond, both atoms in the bond contribute one valence
electron in order to form a shared pair.
The complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. It
is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely
charged ions. In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to
become a positively charged ion, whereas the nonmetal
accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged ion.
Also called a molecular bond, is a chemical bond that involves
the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. These electron
pairs are known as shared pairs or bonding pairs, and the
stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces between
atoms, when they share electrons, is known as covalent
bonding.
