OK, so here is the deal….

 

Atoms are the basic building blocks of all types of matter. Atoms link to other atoms through chemicals bonds resulting from the strong attractive forces that exist between the atoms.

So what exactly is a chemical bond? It is a connection that forms when electrons from different atoms interact with each other. The electrons that take part in chemical bonds are the valence electrons, which are the electrons found in an atom’s outermost shell. When two atoms approach each other these outer electrons interact. Electrons repel each other, yet they are attracted to the protons within atoms. The interplay of forces results in some atoms forming bonds with each other and sticking together.

The two main types of bonds formed between atoms are ionic bonds and covalent bonds.

 An ionic bond is formed when one atom accepts or donates one or more of its valence electrons to another atom.

 A covalent bond is formed when atoms share valence electrons. In a covalent bond, electrons are shared between two atoms.

When electrons are shared by two metallic atoms a metallic bond may be formed. The electrons that participate in metallic bonds may be shared between any of the metal atoms in the region.

Does this help you to understand bonding any better?

Just something to think about while you are studying… As far as bonding goes…..

Covalent Ionic Metallic
*Electrons are shared*Only nonmetals bonding with nonmetals

*Low Melting and Boiling Pt

*Brittle Solids

 

 

 

 *Electrons transfer to another element*A metal bonds with a nonmetal

*Metal loses an electron—positive ion

*Nonmetal gains electrons—negative ion

*Ion—charged particle

*High Melting and Boiling Pt

*Brittle Solids

 *Electrons swim freely from metal ion to metal ion*Metal bonding with Metal

*Electrons jump from outer energy level from one metal ion to the next metal ion

*Characteristics:  malleable, ductile, bend without breaking

Ok folks, I have uploaded a bunch of study guides and powerpoints.  If we did something in class that you dont see here and you want copies, comment and I will get it here!  Have a great night!
