chpt. 8 -- basic concepts of chemical bonding

This is intro. to Chemistry class notes on . This document goes into detail about the basic concepts of chemical bonding, electron orbitals, what constitutes as a chemical bond, making ionic bonds, defining ionic materials, energy that holds ionic molecules together, lattic energies for some ionic compounds, qualitatively determining relative lattice energies, examples using lattice energy, what a covalent bond is, predicting why some atoms form covalent bonds, drawing lewis structures, using the octet rule, showing bonds in lewis structures, atoms making bonds to pair electrons in unfilled orbitals, making higher order (pi) bonds, covalent bonding, bond polarity and electronegativity, resonance structures, and exceptions to the octet rule.
