title "Ionic vs covalent bonding"
set I "Ionic bonding"
set C "Covalent bonding"
only "I" "Metal + non-metal; electrons transferred; ions; high melting point; conduct when molten"
only "C" "Non-metals only; electrons shared; molecules; lower melting point; usually insulators"
intersect "I,C" "Chemical bonds; involve outer electrons; form compounds; release energy"
