Atoms are rarely found by themselves, but instead join with other atoms.
WHY DO ELEMENTS BOND? This question is best answered by examining the Noble gases. This “group” of atoms are inert (non-reactive). In fact, Helium, Neon and Argon never react with other atoms, or even themselves. This is because they have either 8 electrons in their outer shells, or a full outer shell.
Noble gases have a very “stable” electron configuration. Other atoms will react with other atoms so they can achieve a similar electron configuration by either: • gaining or losing outer shell electrons (Ionic Bonding), or • sharing electrons (Covalent Bonding).
Compounds are formed when different atoms react or join together. There are three main ways in which these atoms may join together: 1. Ionic bonding 2. Covalent bonding 3. Metallic bonding
IONIC BONDING This occurs when a metal atom joins to a non-metal atom and electrons are transferred from the metal to the non- metal atom. e.g. NaCl Na+ + Cl- NaCl (2, 8) (2, 8, 8)
Mg2+ + 2Cl- MgCl2 (2, 8) (2, 8, 8)
IONIC BONDING Metalatoms lose their outer shell electrons to non-metal atoms. The metal atoms then become positive ions (cations). Non-metalatoms gain outer shell electrons from metal atoms to become negative ions (anions).
The charge on an ion is called its valency. The ratio of metal atoms to non-metal atoms in an ionic compound is determined by each ions valency. **Handout valency sheet*** Naming Ionic Compound Activity
Oppositely charged ions (positive cations & negative anions) are attracted to each other through electrostatic attraction.

COVALENT BONDING This occurs when two or more non-metal atoms join together by sharing electrons. e.g. H2O and CO2.
Why do they share electrons? e.g. Consider a H2 molecule. Both H atoms need to gain electrons in order to achieve a complete outershell. They achieve this complete outershell by sharing pairsof electrons and this is called a covalent bond.
A covalent bond is the electrostatic attraction between the negatively charged shared pair of electrons and the positive nucleus of each atom. The electrostatic attraction holds the atoms together and forms the molecule.
Metallic Bonding Metallic bonding is the bond formed by positive ions surrounded by a sea of valence electrons. Delocalised Electrons –freely moving around the cations LATTICE Positive ions (CATIONS) – in fixed positions
The electrostatic forcesof attraction between the positively charged cations and negatively charged electrons hold the lattice together. Animation of Metallic Bonding http://www.drkstreet.com/resources/metallicbonding-animation.swf
