| In order to conduct electricity, a substance must have | free electrons or ions |
| Ionic compounds conduct electricity when | the ions are free, when they are in water or melted |
| Atoms form bonds in order to | have a complete octet (a.k.a. to have the same configuration as the noble gases) |
| Ionic bonds are created when | one atom loses electrons (becomes +) and another gains electrons (becomes -) |
| Covalent bonds are created when | 2 or more atoms share electrons |
