CHEMICAL BONDING

(Ionic and Covalent)

for SCIENCE Grade 9
Quarter 2/Week 2

NegOr_Q2_Science9_SLKWeek2_v2 1
 FOREWORD

This self-learning kit will make you understand

what is happening in the atoms during the formation
of compounds. You will further discover on how
electrons are shared between atoms in a molecule or
polyatomic ion. Look around you. Do you
think you see anything composed of just one
element? The correct answer is certainly no.
Understanding the bonding of compounds is
essential in developing new chemical and
technologies.

Why do we need to talk about the transfer or the

sharing of electrons? You will discover the answer to
these questions as you study this self-learning kit.

II.WHAT I NEED TO KNOW
Everything around you is held together by chemical
bonds from the molecules that make up your body and
the salt you put on your food to the chair you’re sitting on.
Atoms always strive to attain the most stable
arrangement of electrons.

Bonding by transfer of electrons is ionic bonding.

Remember that this chemical bond only exists between metals
and non-metals and that you need to consider metals from
Groups 1 and 2 and the non-metals from the halogen group
(Group 7). The best way in choosing the combination that will
form ionic bond is by computing the electronegativity
difference between the two elements. A combination which has
an electronegativity difference of above 1.9 will result to ionic
Bond.

 covalent bond
called a molecular bond is a
chemical bond that involves the

atoms. These electron pairs are

pairs, and the stable balance of

attractive and repulsive forces
between atoms, when they share
electrons is known as covalent
bonding. A combination which
has an electronegativity
difference of less than 1.9 will

electrons to achieve the

nearest noble gas.
