Ionic and covalent bonds both involve the moving of electrons, allowing two atoms to each achieve complete outer shells. In ionic bonds one atom gains and one loses electrons. In covalent bonds the two atoms share electrons. Animated diagrams show which elements on the periodic table are most likely to form ionic bonds, how atoms become negatively or positively charged (ions), electrostatic attraction, and samples of covalent bond formations.
