In chem i understand that ionic is metal and non metal and covalent is non metal and non metal. But if given a table with certain properties of each elemetn how are you supposed to know. E.g the question is suggest the most likely type of bonding in neodymium fluoride?
you get a periodic table so you can quickly find out whether the two elements(in neodymium fluoride) are metal or non metal and you will immediately know the type of bonding there is
