Section 2-1 Cont. Bonding
Types of Chemical Bonds • Bonds involve the electrons in an atom. • 1. Ionic Bonds • Electrons are transferred from one atom to another • Formed from ions with a similar opposite charge • Ex: Mg2+ and O2-
Types of Chemical Bonds • 2. Covalent Bonds • Electrons are shared between the atoms • Not always shared equally
Types of Chemical Bonds • 3. Van der Waals Forces (Intermolecular) • Unequal sharing of electrons can create regions of a molecule that are charged. • These charged areas are attracted to regions on a nearby molecule with an opposite charge.
