An easier way to draw the valence electrons is through… Lewis dot structures
Sometimes atoms get together and one or more electrons jumps from one atom to another… …this causes both atoms to have opposite charges (ions)… …which then causes these ions to be attracted to each other. Ionic Bond
For example… Chlorine has a greater attraction for electrons than Sodium But why? Electronegativity / Chlorine = catcher
Ionic bonds Occur between metals and nonmetals Like Sodium and Chlorine or Potassium and Fluorine
K F In an ionic bond, electrons are first lost or gained, resulting in the formation of ions.

Ionic Bonds Properties of Ionic Compounds Electrons are exchanged Ions are formed Ions “stick together” magnetically to form compound Formed between metals and nonmetals Electronegativity difference >1.7 Cation + Anion = “salt” Forms crystals (ordered arrangements of ions) Conduct electricity when dissolved or melted High melting/boiling points Hard and brittle Rarely burn Formation is always exothermic
Covalent Bonds Properties of Covalent Compounds Electrons are shared No ions are formed Formed between two nonmetals Electronegativity difference is minimal Low melting and boiling points Typically soft and squishy Usually do not dissolve in water as well as ionic compounds Don’t conduct electricity Sometimes burn
Covalent bonds Occur between two nonmetals Like Hydrogen and Chlorine or Chlorine and Chlorine
In covalent bonding, atoms still want to achieve the lowest energy level possible (which means filling up all eight of their valence seats.) But rather than losing or gaining electrons, atoms now SHARE an electron pair.
Covalent bonds attempt to fill up all eight of their valence seats… Just like noble gases! All physical systems tends towards a configuration of lowest energy
Chlorine forms a covalent bond with itself Cl2
How will two chlorine atoms react? Cl Cl Each chlorine atom wants to gain one electron to fill all of its seats.

Covalent bonds You know this… But you need to learn this! …and this. Remember: Covalent bonds occur between two nonmetals!
O2 Oxygen can also form a covalent bond with itself. But it needs to form two bonds since it is in Group 6A. How can this be done?
