Chemical Bonding

1. Introduction to Chemical Bonding:

 Introduces the concept of chemical bonding as the

force that holds atoms together in compounds.

 Discusses the difference between ionic and

covalent bonding.

2. Ionic Bonding:

 Explores ionic bonding, which occurs between

metal and nonmetal atoms.

 Discusses the transfer of electrons, formation of

ions, and the formation of ionic compounds.

3. Covalent Bonding:

 Introduces covalent bonding, which occurs

between nonmetal atoms.

 Covers the sharing of electrons and the formation

of molecules.

4. Lewis Structures:

 Introduces Lewis structures as a way to represent

the arrangement of electrons in molecules.
