31 views3 pages

Document Summary

Module 1: ionic bonds are a transfer of electrons between atoms, which forms oppositely charged ions. A positively charged ion forms a bond with a negatively charged ion and one atom transfers electrons to another. Magnesium will transfer two valence electrons to oxygen which creates a positively charged magnesium ion and a negatively charged oxide ion. The resulting ions are electrostatically attracted to one another forming an ionic bond. A covalent bond involves sharing of electron pairs between atoms. The resulting combination of atoms is called a molecule. These two unstable atoms will share electrons because the electrons are equally attracted to each other, and this results in a covalent bond, creating o2. Hydrogen bonds are the attraction of oppositely charged ends of one polar molecule to another polar molecule. It does not involve transferring or sharing of electrons. Created when a hydrogen atom bonded to an electronegative atom approaches a nearby electronegative atom.
