Document Summary

Learning objectives: describe covalent and ionic bonding, predict and rationalize the type of bonding that occurs between atoms by using electronegativity differences, identify bonds of significant polarity. When two atoms come together, there are two possible outcomes: All pictures in this template, unless otherwise specified, were taken with permission from mahaffy, bucat, tasker et al. , Chemical - human activity, chemical reactivity, nelson, 2nd edition, 2014.

Generate valid lewis diagrams for a set of atoms. Knowing about the atomic composition of a chemical species is important, but to truly understand the chemical and physical properties of a species, it is important to know how the atoms are connected to each other. Lewis diagrams are used to show the connectivity between atoms in a chemical species and how electrons are shared between these atoms (covalent bonds).
