Covalent Bonding
Step 1: Draw the atoms with their outer shell (look at the group number of the element to find out how many outer electrons):

Water, H2O:

Metallic Bonding Teachable.net


Fact of the day: Metallic bonding occurs between atoms of any metal with other metal atoms

Teachable.net Teachable.net

This is one way of showing metallic bonding. The electrons in the outer shell are delocalised (free to move from atom to atom).

Teachable.net Teachable.net Teachable.net

In metallic bonding the atoms are in a ________ pattern. The _______ shell electrons are delocalised (they are free to move throughout the structure). The positive _____ are surrounded by a sea of __________ _________. The positive ions are held by _______ electrostatic attractions.

Positive ions

Delocalised electrons

In metallic bonding the atoms are in a regular pattern. The outer shell electrons are delocalised (they are free to move throughout the structure). The positive ions are surrounded by a sea of delocalised electrons. The positive ions are held by strong electrostatic attractions.
