Ionic and Covalent Bond

Introduction

In this lesson, we will explore the two main types of chemical bonds: ionic bonds and covalent bonds. Bonds involve the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of oppositely charged ions that attract each other. Also, the bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms to achieve a stable electron configuration. Throughout the lesson, we will cover practice questions to reinforce your understanding and introduce tools like Lewis dot structures and online molecular visualization tools that can help you visualize how electrons are shared or transferred to form bonds.
