Structure 2.4.1—Bonding is best described as a continuum between the ionic, covalent and metallic models, and can be represented by a bonding triangle.
Structure 2.4.2—The position of a compound in the bonding triangle is determined by the relative contributions of the three bonding types to the overall bond.
Structure 2.4.3—Alloys are mixtures of a metal and other metals or non-metals. They have enhanced properties.
