CHEMICAL BONDING: PROPERTIES OF
COMPOUNDS
 CHEMICAL BONDING is the process
of how atoms attract each other and form
chemical bonds. There are different types
of chemical bonds, such as IONIC
BOND and COVALENT BOND
 In an IONIC BOND, one atom gives up
one or more electrons to another atom.
The atom that loses electrons becomes a
positively charged ion, while the atom
that gains electrons becomes a
negatively charged ion. The two ions are
then attracted to each other by
electrostatic forces .
 In a COVALENT BOND, two atoms share one or
more pairs of electrons. This sharing of electrons
allows both atoms to achieve a more stable electron
configuration.
IONIC BONDING- (TRANSFER) is a
type of chemical bond in which valence
electrons are lost from one atom and
gained by another. The atom that loses
the electrons becomes a Positively
charged ion (cation), while the one
that gains them becomes a Negatively
charged ion (anion).
Lewis electron dot diagram
(or electron dot diagram, or a Lewis diagram, or a Lewis
structure) is a representation of the valence electrons of an
atom
that uses dots around the symbol of the
element
. The number of dots equals the number of valence
electrons in the
atom
. These dots are arranged to the right and left and above and
below the symbol, with no more than two dots on a side.
For example, the
Lewis electron dot diagram
for hydrogen is simply
H⋅
