Covalent and ionic bonding COVALENT BOND Definition: A covalent bond is a chemical link between two atoms in which electrons are shared between them. Examples: There is a covalent bond between the oxygen and each hydrogen in a water molecule (H2O). Each of the covalent bonds contains two electrons - one from a hydrogen atom and one from the oxygen atom. Both atoms share the electrons.
Covalent and ionic bonding Definition: A chemical link between two atoms caused by the electrostatic force between oppositely-charged ions in an ionic compound. Examples: There is an ionic bond between the sodium and chloride ions in table salt, NaCl.

Lewis Diagrams Electron dot diagrams, sometimes called Lewis dot diagrams, were first used by Gilbert N. Lewis in 1916. These diagrams are used as a shorthand notation to show the number of valence electrons in an atom. More complicated versions can be used to show the bond between different atoms in a molecule.

Coordinate covalent bonding (Dative Bonding) In the formation of a simple covalent bond, each atom supplies one electron to the bond - but that doesn't have to be the case. A co-ordinate bond (also called a dative covalent bond) is a covalent bond (a shared pair of electrons) in which both electrons come from the same atom. Examples include: Sulfur dioxide & Sulfur trioxide
