Compounds are formed when an element's atom joins with another element's atoms to produce another substance suing chemical bonds. There are two types of bonds: Ionic bonds and covalent bonds. Ionic bonds are when two elements with opposite charges join together. A covalent bond is the sharing of electron pairs between atoms.
Example of ionic:
Here is a picture of baking soda, vinegar and sugar. Baking soda is a ionic bond. Its formula is NaCO3 its ionic because it is made up of sodium, a metal, and carbon, a nonmetal.. Vinegar has the formula of C2H4O2. It is a covalent bond since Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen are nonmetal. And sugar is covalent too. Its formula is C12H22O11. Carbon, Hydrogen and oxygen are all non mentals.
