What is Chemical Bonding?

●Holds atoms together by transferring and sharing electrons

●Atoms bond by transferring and sharing electrons

What is Chemical Bonding?

What is an Ion?

●Charged atom that forms when an atom loses or gains electrons

●Positive Ions combine with Negative ions to form ionic bonds

What is an Ion?

What is a positive ion?

●This forms when an atom loses electrons

What is a negative ion?

●This forms when an atom gains electrons

What is a ionic bond?

●Forms between two oppositely charged ions (positive and negative)

●Held together by the electrostatic force

●Ionic bonds form between metals and nonmetals

What is electrostatic force?

●Force of attraction that holds oppositely charged atoms together

●Two positive ions do not attract but one positive and negative ion will attract
each other
