Two or more atoms can form a chemical bond using the valence electrons in order to form a molecule. If the atoms does not have a strong difference electronegativity (or little difference of electronegativity), valences electron of atoms are used together formed a covalent bond. If the atoms has a large difference of electronegativity, the atoms are formed ion bonds.
The atoms bonded to obtain stable configuration that is formed as electrons configuration of noble gas elements.
In the covalent bond, electrons used together by the atoms so that the atoms has electron configuration such as electron configuration noble gas elements. For example, hydrogen has 1 valence electron and oxygen has 6 valence electrons. Both types of elements are formed of water molecules (H2O).
At the ion bond, the atoms has a high value of electronegativity capture elctrons form a negative ion, while the atoms that has a low value of electronegaivity release the valense electrons formed positive ion. With the capture or release electrons, the atoms become stable formed electron configuration like elements configuration of noble gas. Although the atoms in the compound does not use the pair electron together, but the atoms have a strong bond each other because the atoms cargo is different. In an ion compound, all the ions form a crystal lattice structure.
