set C "Covalent bonding"
set M "Metallic bonding"
only "C" "Shared pairs of electrons; between non-metals; directional; molecules or giant lattices"
only "M" "Sea of delocalised electrons; between metal atoms; conduct electricity; malleable"
intersect "C,M" "Strong chemical bonds; involve outer electrons; hold atoms together"
