    Bonding

    Uploaded by

    Jhanelle S. Dixon-Laird
    There are three main types of bonding between atoms: ionic, covalent, and metallic. Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons between ions to form an ionic lattice structure. Covalent bonding shares electrons between nonmetal atoms. Metallic bonding delocalizes electrons among positively charged metal ions to allow for conductivity. Each type of bonding results in different material properties depending on structure and electron arrangement.

    Bonding, Structure and Properties

     When atoms join together, either with the same atom or a different atom, the way it joins, has
    considerable effect on its structure and then consequently on its properties. The joining of an
    atom to another atom is called Bonding. Bonding involves each atom either donating or
    accepting electron from another atom. It is also done through sharing electrons. There are three
    types of bonding that will be discussed here.
     Ionic Bonding
    The bonding involves ions as the name suggests. When an atom becomes a positive ion by losing
    an electron, this positive ion will look for a negative ion to attract. A negative ion will be the
    atom that has gained an electron. When these positive and negative ions meet, through attraction
    of opposites a bonding will be formed, which is known as ionic bonding.
     The substances that would have this type of bondings are compounds of metals with non-metals.
    For example Sodium Chloride, which involves metal such as Sodium and non-metal such as
    Chlorine, both become ions. Sodium has one electron in its outer shell, which it will lose to
    become a positive ion. Chlorine has seven electrons in its outer shell therefore will gain one
    electron to form a stable outer shell and become a negative ion. The structure, which is present in
    ionic bonded compounds, is Giant Lattice.  Ionic bonding shows properties of high melting and
    boiling point. They are very hard but brittle and conduct electricity when dissolved in water, or
    molten. They are often soluble in water and generally insoluble in non-polar solvents.
    Covalent Bonding
     This type of bonding involves sharing of electrons between the two atoms. It is present in non-
    metals such as Carbon, Chlorine, and Oxygen. For example, in Oxygen, there are 6 electrons in
    the outer shell. It would bond with another Oxygen by sharing its two electron with other
    Oxygen’s two electron therefore sharing a total of four electrons.
     This is a double bond. In a single bond only one pair of electrons are shared such as between
    Chlorine and Chlorine.
     Covalent bonds are strong and have a very high melting and boiling point. It does not conduct
    electricity and is insoluble in water and non-polar solvents.
    Metallic Bonding
    This bonding joins metal atoms together for example Magnesium atoms. Many MgAtoms bond
    together to form a solid metal.
     Magnesium atoms are positive ions surrounded by delocalised electrons. Due to these
    delocalised electrons, they conduct electricity. The melting and boiling points are generally high
    in Metallic bonding. Metals typically have a shiny, metallic lustre.
