CHEM 101 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Ionic Bonding, Lewis Structure, Noble Gas
Document Summary
Attractive force that holds two atoms together in a more complex unit. Form as a result of interactions between electrons found in the combining atoms o. Chemical bond formed through the transfer of one or more electrons from one atom or group of atoms to another atom or group of atoms. A compound in which ionic bonds are present. Chemical bond formed through the sharing of one or more pairs of electrons between atoms. A compound in which atoms are joined through covalent bonds. Most bonds are not 100% ionic or 100% covalent, but contain some percentage of each character. However on the simplest level we describe bonds based on which character they contain the most of. Only valence electrons can participate in bonds o. Identify the number of valence electrons and chemical symbol. Add valence electrons to each side of the chemical symbol sequentially, not pairing electrons until each side has one electron o.
