Second Class: Co-valent And Ionic Bonding

In this class we looked at the basic part of basic chemistry: bonding of atoms.  The first two that we study are: Co-valent and Ionic bonding.  Co-valent bonding is where valence electrons are shared between the two molecules that are bonded share the electrons to complete each others outer shells.  In ionic bonding some of the molecules will give up their valence electrons to drop down to a complete electron shell and become stable.

These different types of bonds dictate what atoms can bond with other atoms and in what way they will do it.
