Covalent and Ionic Bonds

Compounds are formed when two or more elements have formed and bonded. There is two different bonds. Those are the ionic bonds and the covalent bonds. The differences between the ionic and covalent bonds are that the ionic bonds are "the complete transfer between valence electrons." It's also where the metals lose electrons to become positively charged. And where the nonmetals gain those electrons to become negatively charged. And that's where those two elements have formed to make a compound. Ionic compounds are also where negative and positive charges are attracted to each other. That's why electron valences are being traded off so that one can become positively charged and the other can become negatively charged and the both of them can be attracted to each other. Covalent bonds are the chemical share of electron pairs between atoms.

Covalent Bonds: 

-Oil: Chemical Formula- C36H74
we use oil in everyday life as in having to cook fries:)) or having to fry food so we can eat it so we can stay alive. 

-Sugar: Chemical Formula- C6H12O6
we use sugar in multiple things, including cake, tea or coffee, and anything that is being cooked or stirred with sugar:)

Ionic Bonds:

-Soap: Chemical Formula- C35H17COONa
we (hopefully) use soap every day after using the bathroom, before and after eating, and while taking a bath. 

-Toothpaste: Chemical Formula- Na2PO3F
we use toothpaste (hopefully) twice a day, everyday to keep out teeth clean and to keep people around us alive:))
