Types of Bonding

Types of Bonding

1. Ionic Bonding

   • When electrons are TRANSFERRED from one atom to another to form a cation and an anion, each with complete outer shells
     • after, the ionic bond forms due to the ELECTROSTATIC ATTRACTION between the electrical charges of a cation and anion
   • generally between metals and non-metals

2. Metallic Bonding

   • The electrostatic attraction between a lattice of positive ions and delocalised electrons

3. Covalent Bonding

   • chemical bonds formed by the sharing of one or more pairs of electrons between atoms
     • "an electrostatic attraction between a pair of bonding electrons and a positively charged nuclei"
     • electrons are SHARED
   • between atoms with high electronegativity (non-metals)
   • has structural formulas

4. London Dispersion Forces

5. INTRAMOLECULAR BONDS

6. INTERMOLECULAR FORCES

7. Hydrogen bonding

   • strongest
   • FON

8. Dipole-dipole forces
