Take A Real Quiz: 50 points- You'd better try hard. � � The combining of elements to form different substances is called chemical bonding. The world around you is made up of thousands and thousands of different compounds formed from chemical bonds. There are three types of chemical bonds: ionic bonding, covalent bonding and metallic bonding. This quiz will focus on ionic bonding. Use your knowledge of ions and ionic bonding to answer the following questions.
