BONDS
CHEMICAL BONDS
any of the interactions that account
for the association of atoms into
molecules, ions, crystals, and other
species.
TYPES OF BONDS:
1. covalent bonds
2. ionic bonds
covalent bonds
results from sharing electrons
between atoms
found between two non-metals or
metalloids (Semi-metals)
 covalent bond

non-pOLAR pOLAR
-occurs between non-metals -occurs between non-metals
-equal or nearly equal and also non-metals and
sharing of bonding electron some metals

ionic bonds
results from sharing electrons
between metals and non-metals
that are far from each other in
the periodic table.
result of an electron transfer

 octet rule
Rule of thumb that atoms tend to
gain, lose or share electrons until
they are surrounded by 8 valence
electrons (4 electron pairs)
VALENCE ELECTRON
are the electrons in the outermost shell,
or energy level of an atom.

representation of the
compounds where the
electrons are written as dots
