IONIC & COVALENT BONDING THE OCTET RULE
Octet Rule Atoms bond in order to achieve an electron configuration that is the same as the electron configuration of a noble gas Ie. They have 8 electrons in their filled outer energy level (except He)
Chemical Bond The force of attraction between two atoms or ions.
IONIC BONDING Some elements tend to gain electron(s) readily while others tend to lose electron(s) (low I.E.) When an active element (metal) reacts with an active non-metal), electrons are transferred from the metal to the non-metal. Atoms of the non-metal become anions while the metals become cations. These ions are attracted to each other by electrostatic forces.
Electrostatic Forces Attraction between oppositely charged particles.
Ionic Bond The type of chemical bond resulting from the electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions (as formed when metallic atoms transfer electrons to non-metallic atoms).
