# Notes **Date:** 9/30/24 **Topic:** Bonding **Section:** V1 **Subtopics:** * **Atoms:** * Atoms of Carbon need 4 electrons. * Atoms of Oxygen need 8 electrons. * **Ionic Bonds:** Electrons are transferred from one atom to another. * **Covalent Bonds:** Electrons are shared between atoms. * **Energy:** * Energy is stored in bonds. * Bonds can be broken; this releases energy. * **Atoms interact to form molecules:** * This is reflected in examples like water, proteins, and carbohydrates. **Diagram:** The image contains a simplified representation of atoms sharing electrons in a covalent bond. Three circles, representing atoms, are shown with lines connecting them. The lines represent the shared electrons. **Overall Summary:** The notes explain the differences between ionic and covalent bonds. It also refers to the way atoms interact to form molecules, mentioning biological examples of molecules.
