BONDING { metal bonds }: particular bonds that INTERMOLECULAR BOND: attractive

INTRAMOLECULAR BOND: the involve all the metal atoms sharing their forces between molecules
interaction forces that are established valence e-, which are then free to move : usually exist in covalent compounds
within the valence electrons of 2 atoms. within the metal lattice
- They are the strongest bonds and the aim - malleable
is to reach the electronic configuration of - ductile
the noble gas that’s closest to them: - shiny
[ Hydrogen → He (2 e-) ] - excellent conductor of electricity
[ All other elements: aim at the electronic - excellent conductor of heat
configuration of other noble gases (8 e-) ] examples:
{ covalent bonds }: ( table salt: IONIC bond)
- Non polar-Pure: the electronegativity - the smallest unit of an ionic
diff. b/w the atoms is <0.4 compound is formula unit;
- Polar: the electronegativity diff. b/w the
ex: Na-CI
atoms is >0.4 but <1.7-1.9
( Water: COVALENT bond)
- Dative: one of the atoms has already
completed the octet and gives up an e- pair - the smallest unit of covalent
to another atom compound is molecule
THEY CAN ALSO BE: ex: 𝐻2𝑂
single, double, triple
(with progressive decrease in bond
distance and increase in bond energy)
{ ionic bonds }:
- These are bonds whose electronegativity (Iron sheet: METALLIC bond)
diff. exceeds 1.7-1.9! - the smallest unit of a metallic
→ This results in the subtraction of an e- compound is an atom
by the more electronegative atom, and the ex: Fe-Fe
formation of a hard crystal lattice [ INTRAMOLECULAR BOND ]
TYPICALLY OCCUR B/W: - bonding forces
- alkalines (group 1) - exist within molecules
- halogens (group 7) - determine chemical properties of a

compound
- halogens (group 7)
! they do not occur b/w H and Halogens !
