Chemical Bonding
Types of Bonding
• Elements react with each other to
achieve a full outer orbit of electrons
Ionic Covalent
IONIC BONDING
Ionic Bonding
• In order to achieve a full outer shell
– One atom loses electrons
– Another atom gains electrons
• When atoms lose or gain electrons they
become ions
• Opposite charges attract
Ion: atoms with a negative or positive
E
charge
Ionic Bonding
• Sodium wants to lose one electron
Ionic Bonding
• Sodium ion has an overall +1 charge
Ionic Bonding
• Chlorine wants to gain one electron
Ionic Bonding
• Chlorine ion has an overall -1 charge
Ionic Bonding
• Opposites attract so we get sodium chloride
(NaCl)

COVALENT BONDING
Covalent Bonding
Covalent bond: a pair of electrons being
E
Hydrogen Atoms
Covalent Bonding
• Both want to gain one electron to achieve
a full shell
• They overlap shells and share electrons
• They have formed a covalent bond
