WHAT IS AN IONIC COMPOUND?
What is a covalent bond?
The perodic table and charges explained...
Before explaining bonds you must understand the basics.
Valence electrons
- electrons with the highest energy levels
- The attractions between the shared electrons and protons in the nucleus of each atom holds the atoms together.
- AN ION IS AN ATOM OR GROUP OF ATOMS WITH AN ELECTRIC CHARGE.
- When an atom looses a valence electron, it looses a negative charge.
- When a neutral atom gains an electron
Nuetral groups of atoms are joined in colvalent bonds
CONCLUSION
Why do they form and what types of atoms?
Why do ionic compounds take place and with what types of elements?
- They form between nonmetal atoms
- Do not have charges
- Can form double and tripple bonds as well as single
Polar v Non-polar
In covalent bonds there are two types.
Polar when diffrent atoms are bonded and non polar when the same atoms are bonded
2 pairs of electrons and 3 pairs electrons can form 1 covalent bond and it works the same.
Most likely to take place between a metal and a non-metals.
They take place to balence electrons
In general, ionic compounds from hard, brittle crystals that have high melting points. They conduct electric current when dissolved in water or melted.

Covalent Bonds
- Covalent bonds have lower melting points, less conductive, do not form in crystals, do not have charges and form with diffrent molecules then ionic compound all of wich are diffrent qualites making them very diffrent.
- They are similar in the sence of both needing atoms and valence electrons.
- They both serve the same purpose of sharing electrons.

Comparing Covalent and Ionic Bonds
Chemical Bonds
Ductiity and malebility
8 valence electrons mean the element or bond is stable.
- When stable they will not bond.
- Each group has different # of electrons as you will see in the photo below.
- Force of attraction that holds together as a result of rearrangment of electrons between them.
