Q & A
What is the primary location where chemical bonds form?
-Chemical bonds form at the outermost shell or energy level of atoms.
What is the octet rule and how does it relate to chemical bonding?
-The octet rule states that elements tend to combine in such a way that each atom has 8 electrons in its outermost shell, which often results in the formation of structures like crystals or molecules.
How does the transfer of electrons lead to the formation of an ionic bond?
-In ionic bonds, an electron transfer occurs where one atom loses an electron and another gains it, resulting in two oppositely charged ions that are attracted to each other.
What is the atomic number of sodium and how does it relate to its bonding behavior?
-Sodium has an atomic number of 11, meaning it has 11 protons and 11 electrons. It tends to lose one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration with 8 electrons in its outer shell.
How does a chlorine atom achieve a stable electron configuration?
-A chlorine atom gains an electron to achieve a stable configuration with 8 electrons in its outer shell, resulting in a chloride ion with a negative charge.
What is the difference between an ion and a neutral atom?
-An ion is an atom or molecule that has a net electrical charge due to the loss or gain of electrons, whereas a neutral atom has an equal number of protons and electrons, resulting in no net charge.
How is table salt (NaCl) formed?
-Table salt is formed when a positively charged sodium ion (Na+) is attracted to a negatively charged chloride ion (Cl-), resulting in the formation of an ionic bond.
What is a covalent bond and how is it different from an ionic bond?
-A covalent bond is formed by the sharing of one or more pairs of electrons between the outer energy levels or shells of two atoms, as opposed to an ionic bond which involves the transfer of electrons.
Why do carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen almost always form covalent bonds?
-These elements form covalent bonds by sharing electrons because it allows them to achieve a stable electron configuration without the need for electron transfer.
How does the formation of a double bond in carbon dioxide (CO2) illustrate covalent bonding?
-In CO2, each oxygen atom shares two of its electrons with a carbon atom, and in return, the carbon atom shares two of its electrons with each oxygen atom, resulting in double bonds and a stable molecule.
Why is hydrogen an exception to the octet rule?
-Hydrogen is an exception to the octet rule because it only has one shell and tends to have a stable configuration with just 2 electrons in its outer shell.
Outlines
🔬 Chemical Bonding and the Octet Rule
This paragraph discusses the fundamental concept of chemical bonding, focusing on the interactions between atoms at their outermost energy levels. It explains how atoms with fewer or more than eight electrons in their outer shells tend to undergo reactions to achieve a stable configuration, usually by losing, gaining, or sharing electrons to satisfy the octet rule. The octet rule suggests that atoms aim to have eight electrons in their outermost shell, leading to the formation of structures like crystals or molecules. Two main types of chemical bonds are introduced: ionic and covalent. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons, exemplified by the reaction between sodium and chlorine atoms to form sodium chloride (table salt). Covalent bonds, on the other hand, are formed by the sharing of electron pairs between atoms, as illustrated by the bonding in carbon dioxide.

Highlights
The interactions of two or more atoms mainly occur at the outermost shell or energy level.
Chemical reactions result from atoms losing, gaining, or sharing electrons to satisfy the octet rule.
The octet rule explains that elements combine so each atom has 8 electrons in its outermost shell.
Two main types of chemical bonds: ionic bonds and covalent bonds.
Ionic bonds occur when the transfer of electrons takes place between atoms.
Sodium (Na) with 11 protons and 11 electrons transfers one electron to chlorine (Cl), forming an ionic bond.
Chlorine (Cl) gains an electron, resulting in a chloride ion with a negative charge, forming NaCl (table salt).
An ion is an atom or molecule with a net electrical charge due to the loss or gain of an electron.
Ionic bonding generates two oppositely charged ions, which attract each other.
Covalent bonds form when two atoms share pairs of electrons in their outer shells.
Carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen, major elements of the body, form covalent bonds by sharing electrons.
Hydrogen atoms bond by sharing one pair of electrons, being an exception to the octet rule.
In carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon shares electrons with two oxygen atoms to form a covalent bond.
Double bonds, such as in CO2, are formed by sharing two pairs of electrons between atoms.
Double bonds are important in chemical reactions and fundamental to molecular structures.

Chemical bonds.
The interactions of 2 or more atoms mainly
occur at the outermost shell, or energy level.
The consequence of these interactions results in a chemical reaction.
In atoms that have fewer or more than 8 electrons in their outermost energy level,
reactions occur that result in the loss, gain, or sharing
of electrons with another atom to satisfy the octet rule.
The octet rule means that elements tend to combine so
that each atom has 8 electrons in its outermost shell.
This results in the formation of structures such as crystals or molecules.
There are 2 main types of chemical bonds, ionic bonds and covalent bonds.
Ionic bonds are bonds where the transfer of electrons takes place.
Let’s see how this type of bond works.
Here we have a sodium atom, which has an atomic number of 11, meaning it has
11 protons in its nucleus and 11 electrons in its shells or energy levels.
Shell 1 has 2 electrons, shell 2 has 8 electrons and shell 3 has 1 electron.
And here we have a chlorine atom, which has an
atomic number of 17, so 17 protons and 17 electrons.
It has 2 electrons in shell 1, 8 in shell 2 and 7 in shell 3.
We know that atoms want to have 8 electrons in their outer shell,
so Sodium can give up one electron, and now it has 8 electrons in its outer shell,
and chlorine can take that electron from sodium and
that will give it 8 electrons in its outer shell.
Since the sodium atom gave up an electron it has 11 protons, which
are positively charged, and 10 electrons which are negatively charged.
This results in the formation of a sodium ion with a positive charge.
An ion is an atom or molecule with a net electrical
charge due to the loss or gain of an electron.
Since the chlorine atom gained an electron, and now has 17 protons
and 18 electrons, it is a chloride ion with a negative charge.
The positively charged sodium ion is now attracted to the
negatively charged chloride ion, and NaCl or table salt is formed.
This is an ionic bond.
So, ionic bonding is when an electron transfer takes
place and generates 2 oppositely charged ions.
Now for covalent bonds.
Covalent bonds are chemical bonds that are formed
by the sharing of one or more pairs of electrons
by the outer energy levels or shells of two atoms.
The 4 major elements of the body, carbon, oxygen, hydrogen and
nitrogen almost always form covalent bonds by sharing electrons.
So, for instance, 2 hydrogen atoms can bond by sharing a pair of electrons.
Hydrogen is one of the exceptions to the octet rule of having 8
electrons in the outer shell, because it only has one shell.
Let’s look at carbon dioxide or co2, which forms a covalent bond.
Oxygen has an atomic mass of 8, so 8 protons, and 8 electrons,
2 electrons in its inner shell and 6 in its outer shell, so, oxygen
atoms want 2 more electrons for their outer shell.
Carbon has an atomic mass of 6, 6 protons and 6 electrons,
2 in the inner shell and 4 in the outer shell, so
it wants 4 more electrons for its outer shell.
These fellows can make each other happy by sharing what they have.
Oxygen atom number 1 can share 2 of its electrons with the carbon atom,
and in return the carbon atom can share 2 of
its own electrons with oxygen atom number one,
making oxygen atom number one happy.
Then oxygen atom number 2 can come in and like oxygen atom number
one it can share two of its electrons with the carbon atom,
and again in return the carbon atom has 2 more of its own electrons
that it can share with oxygen atom number 2.
So now all 3 atoms are happy.
By sharing 2 pairs of electrons in this situation a double bond has
been formed, and double bonds are important in chemical reactions.
And that, be the basics on attractions between atoms.
