This document discusses chemical bonding and intramolecular bonding. It begins by introducing ionic and covalent bonds as the two major types of intramolecular bonding that hold atoms together to form molecules. Ionic bonds form between ions through the transfer of electrons from metals to nonmetals. Covalent bonds form between nonmetals by the sharing of electrons. The document then goes into further detail about the formation of ions, ionic compounds through electron transfers, and the naming of ionic compounds according to IUPAC nomenclature rules.
