Chemical Bond Mutual attraction between atom's valance shell electrons to create new molecules
Potential energy effects when bonds are Potential energy per atom decreases in a bond. More stable atoms mean less potential
formed energy per molecule.
Ionic- This bond forms from the electrical charge attraction between oppositely
charged atoms. The charge on the atom is the result of a "electron swap" between two
atoms
3 main types of chemical bonds and how
Covalent- The atoms valance shells "share" electrons to make each atom more stable.
valence electrons play a role in each
Each behaves like a Noble gas.
Metallic- these are bonds involving electrically charged metals. one positive and one
negative. Metals tend to have very few valance shell electrons.
Polar molecules- Unequal distribution of electrons within the molecule. One end of the
pole positive and the other end negative. Ranges from 0.3-1.7
polarity of molecules
Nonpolar molecules- equal distribution of electrons. Usually havre electronegativity
ranging from 0 to 0.3
The charge on the atom is the result of an electron swap between two atoms. This swap
allows both atoms to behave like a noble gas. The atom that lost an electron, called

oxidation, is now positively charged and called a cation. The atom that gained an
electron, called reduction, is now negatively charged and is called an anion

Nonpolar- Carbon(2.54)-Carbon(2.54)
a bond formed by the attraction between positively charged metal ions and the
