Chemical bonding
Transcript: Chemical Bonding Chemical bonding is necessary among atoms so they can fulfill the octet rule by having 8 valence electrons, so they can obtain and maintain stable bonds. Three types of Chemical Bonds Ionic Bonds A solid consisting of ionic bonds is made up cations and anions which are held togehter by electrostatic forces, so in conclusion ionic bonding refers to the electrostatic attraction between cations and anions. ---- Physical properties of ionic bound compounds : high melting and boiling points, ionic solids do not conduct electricity, but when in molten liquid form, they can conduct electricity, or when they are dissolved in water to form an aqueous solution, and they are hard and brittle. Covalent Bonds Sigma bond vs Pi bond A sigma bond is one single bond while the pi bond is formed when elements "orbit" around one another. Metallic Bonds Conclusion In conclusion, there are 3 types of bonds: ionic, covalent, and metallic. In each of these bonds, compunds, being either solid, liquid, or gas have to fulfill the octet rule. In each of these bonds, the octet rule is fulfilled, whether it be sharing electrons by grouping them with another atom, or giving one or taking one from a different atom. whatever it may be, in each of these bonds the octet rule will be fulfilled. A covalent bond is formed by the sharing of one or more electrons, especially pairs of electrons, between atoms. The chemical bonding that holds the atoms of a metal together. Metallic bonds are formed from the attraction between mobile electrons and fixed, positively charged metallic atoms. Whereas most chemical bonds are localized between specific neighboring atoms, metallic bonds extend over the entire molecular structure. Metallic bonds are also the strongest bonds, and the electrons move freely throughout the sea of electrons. From metallic bonds, alloys can be formed. alloys are a metal made by combining 2 or more metallic elements, especially to give greater strenght and resistance to corrosion. By: Bryan Maynard In covalent bonds, there can be formations of single, double. and triple covalent bonds. single: meaning 2 electrons were shared, double: meaning 4 electrons shared, and triple: meaning 6 electrons being shared. Bond lenght and dissociation energy The shorter the bond, the more dissociation energy there is... Two atoms of an element can share eacothers electrons by combining in a covalent bond and pairing their electrons to fulfill the octet rule.
