Metallic element gives up valence electrons to the nonmetallic elements. Attractive forces from positive and negative ions Ceramic materials: high melting temperatures‚ hard‚ poor conductors Covalent Bonding Electrons are shared between adjacent atoms resulting in stable electron configurations. Many nonmetallic elemental molecules are covalently bonded. Polymeric materials have this bond. Crystal Structure Describe the crystal structure using an array of points or lattice. The unit cell is the
