BONDING

WITH
FRIENDS
Objectives:
1. calculate the electronegativity
difference between two elements.
2. use electronegativity values to
classify the type of bond
Electronegativity (EN)
- ability of an atom to
attract electron
- use to predict the nature
of chemical bond in a
compound.
Rule # 1
Get the Electron Negativity
Values of both elements
Na Hg
0.9 1.9
Rule # 2
Calculate their difference
Hg Na
1.9 0.9 1.0
Rule # 3
Classify the type of bond
based on the electronegativity
difference
1.6 below = covalent bond
1.7 above = ionic bond

1. How do you feel about the
activity?
2. Were you able to bond
with other elements?
3. Did you find any difficulty in doing
the activity.
4. What/How do you feel after you
bond with other elements?
5. Is chemical bonding important to an
element?
6. How about in real life, is bonding
with other people important? Why?

7. Can you suggest tips on how to

make a relationship last?
Objectives:
1. calculate the electronegativity
difference between two elements.
2. use electronegativity values to
classify the type of bond
Assignment:
In ¼ crosswise. Identify at least 5
metallic ions and 5 nonmetallic ions
that will possibly form an ionic
bonding. Identify their electron
negativity difference.
