Introduction to Ionic and Covalent Bonds

Why do all bonds form?

• so the number of protons equals the number of electrons

• so an atom can become unstable

• to fill the outermost energy level

An atom with 3 valence electrons "wants" a full shell, so it can either gain 5 or lose 3. Which is more likely to occur?

• Gain 5

• Lose 3

• Nothing

When naming ionic compounds, the metal is always named first and the nonmetal is always named second.

• True

• False

How do covalent bonds form?

• By donating and receiving valence electrons between atoms.

• Scientists still aren't sure.

• Opposite slight charges attract each atom in the compound.

• Sharing valence electrons between atoms
