    Study Notes

    Chemical Bonding (Part 1)

    • Chemical bonding is the force of attraction between atoms or ions.
    • Bonds form when atoms share or transfer valence electrons.
    • Valence electrons in the outer energy level determine chemical interactions.
    • The octet rule states atoms prefer to have eight valence electrons.
    • Noble gases are least reactive because they already have a full octet.
    • Other elements gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full octet.
    • Ionic bonds are formed by the transfer of electrons.
    • Cations are positively charged ions (metals lose electrons).
    • Anions are negatively charged ions (non-metals gain electrons).
    • Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points due to strong electrostatic attractions.
    • Ions form lattice structures.
    • Covalent bonds are formed by the sharing of electron pairs.
    • Covalent bonds can be non-polar (equal sharing), or polar (unequal sharing).
    • Covalent compounds generally have lower melting and boiling points, and are soft and flexible.
    • Molecules and macromolecules are formed through covalent bonding.
    • Lewis structures show how valence electrons are arranged in molecules.
    • Determining the total valence electrons is the first step in drawing Lewis structures.
    • Subscripts are omitted in ionic compounds when they are 1.
