Bonding Notes
What is the “goal” of an atom?
How is this accomplished?
Ion-
What determines what type of bond will form between 2 atoms?
Define Electronegativity-
Find 2 atoms that will likely form an ionic bond:
Find 2 atoms that will likely form a polar covalent bond:
Find 2 atoms that will likely form a non polar covalent bond:
What are the 2 types of ions? Define them.
Ionic Bonding-
Covalent Bonding-
Covalent Bond Formation-
How do you determine valence electrons?
Two Methods for writing chemical formulas of bonded atoms:
1. Lewis Dot Structure-
2. Charge Switch (Ionic only)-
Ion Practice
Part I- Using the Lewis Dot Structure Method AND the Charge Switching method, write the chemical
formula for the ionic compound formed between the following atoms.
1) Sodium and Chlorine
2) Potassium and Sulfur
3) Magnesium and Oxygen
4) Beryllium and Chlorine
