Chemical

Bonds
By:Emma Bartley

Vocabulary
Valence Electrons- Highest occupied
energy level of an element's atom.
Octet Rule- Can only have 8 electrons
on the highest energy level when
transferring electrons.
Cation ion- Positively charged ion
(loses electrons).

Ionic Bonds
What makes this chemical bond different from the
other bonds?
Uses electrostatic forces that hold cation and
anion ions together.
What classes of elements are used for this type of
chemical bond?
Metals and Nonmetals
Sodium
Iron Oxide
What
are some examples
of this bond? Calcium

Ionic Bonds Cont.

How do ions, valence electrons, and octet
apply to this chemical bonds?
Atoms change from cation to anion or
anion to cation by transferring the
valence electrons. When transferring
you can only end up with eight electrons on
the highest energy level(octet rule).
Experimentally how could you test for this

metallic Bonds
What makes this chemical bond different from the
others?
The attraction between the valence electrons and
positively charged metal ions bonding the atoms
together.
What classes of elements are used for this type of
chemical bond?
Metals and Metalloids
What are some examples of this bond?

Chromium

Gold

Zinc

Metallic Bonds Cont.

How do ions, valence electrons and
octet apply to this chemical bond?
Valence electrons can drift freely
from one metal to another, making
sure it only has eight electrons and
turning into cation or anion.
Experimentally how could you test for

Covalent Bonds
What makes this chemical bond different from the others?
They share electrons to hold atoms together.
What classes of elements are used for this type of chemical
bond?
Nonmetals
What are some examples of this bond?

Water

Carbon

Oxygen

Covalent Bonds Cont.

How do ions, valence electrons, and
octet apply to this chemical bonds?
Atoms share valence electrons
applying the octet rule. This makes
the atoms anion or cation.
Experimentally how could you test for
this chemical bond?
