The Ionic Bonding Model
Involves the transfer of electrons from metal to non-metal to form
ions that come together in a solid ionic compound
The Octet Rule
When atoms bond, they lose, gain or share electrons to attain a filled
outer shell of eight (or two) electrons
In ionic bonding, the total number of electrons lost by the metal atoms
equals the total number of electrons gained by the non-metal atoms.
