Study Notes
Introduction to Chemical Bonding
- Chemical bonds are attractive forces holding two atoms together in larger structures.
- Bonds result from interactions between electrons of combining atoms.
Types of Chemical Bonds
- Ionic Bonds: Formed through the transfer of one or more electrons from a metal atom to a non-metal atom.
- Covalent Bonds: Involve the sharing of one or more pairs of electrons between non-metal atoms.
- Metallic Bonds: Occur between metal atoms (not covered in this context).
Ionic Compounds
- Composed of ions (cations from metals and anions from non-metals) held together by charged attractions.
- Ionic compounds are characterized by the presence of ionic bonds.
Molecular Compounds
- Formed through covalent bonds where atoms share electrons, differentiating them from ionic compounds.
