Chemical Bonds Monday, November 28th, 2016 Why do we bond? • The number of valence electrons determines the types of bonds an atom will form • Chemical bonds are an atom’s attempt to fill an electron shell (get a stable octet) Ionic Bond • Usually forms between a metal and nonmetal • Transfer of electrons • Cation + Anion Covalent Bonds • Usually forms between two nonmetals • Sharing of electrons so both atoms get a full octet Metallic Bonds • Usually forms between two metals • Holds metals together very tightly • Electron cloud with high conductivity
