3. IONic Bonding
• Electrons are transferred between
valence shells of atoms
• Ionic compounds are
made of ions
• Ionic compounds are called Salts or
Crystals
NOT MOLECULES
4. Covalent BondingCovalent Bonding
Covalent compounds form by sharing electrons
to attain a noble gas electron configuration
Regardless of the type of bond, the Octet Rule
still must be obeyed (8 valence electrons)
5. types of Covalent
Bonds
• Non Polar covalent bond:
This type of bond isThis type of bond is
formed when electrons areformed when electrons are
shared equally…shared equally…
• Polar covalent bond:
This type of bond isThis type of bond is
formed due to un equalformed due to un equal

Of cOvalent bOndOf cOvalent bOnd
• Step 1
– count total valence e-
involved
• Step 2
– connect the central atom (usually the first in
the formula) to the others with single bonds
• Step 3
– complete valence shells of outer atoms
• Step 4
– add any extra e-
to central atom
IF the central atom has 8 valence e-
surrounding
it . . YOU’RE DONE!
10. Sometimes . . .
• You only have two atoms, so there is
no central atom, but follow the same
rules.
• Check & Share to make sure all the
atoms are “happy”.
