Ionic bonding is a type of chemical bonding that involves the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, or between two atoms with sharply different electronegativities, and is the primary interaction occurring in ionic compounds.

Metallic bonding is a type of chemical bonding that arises from the electrostatic attractive force between conduction electrons and positively charged metal ions. It may be described as the sharing of free electrons among a structure of positively charged ions.

A covalent bond is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electrons to form electron pairs between atoms. These electron pairs are known as shared pairs or bonding pairs.

A higher melting point indicates greater intermolecular forces and therefore less vapour pressure

any of various opaque, fusible, ductile, and typically lustrous substances that are good conductors of electricity and heat, form cations by loss of electrons, and yield basic oxides and hydroxides

To be able to be hammered or pressed permanently out of shape without breaking or cracking.

he non-metals are elements on the right of the periodic table. Non-metals can be gases, liquids or solids. Non-metals are dull in colour, not shiny like metals. You can't hammer or shape a non-metal; it will just shatter if you hit it.

# data[].attributes.body
A conductor conducts electricity since it offers little or no resistance to the flow of electrons, thus leading to a flow of electrical current

A low melting point refers to the temperature at which a solid substance changes to a liquid state. Substances with low melting points will melt easier then ones with a high melting point

An atom can lose electrons to become a positively charged ion, known as a cation.

A positively charged ion, i.e. one that would be attracted to the cathode in electrolysis.

A negative ion or anion is an atom that has gained electrons
