1. Megan Cunningham Brenton Langston BOND FORMATIONS

2. What is Bond Formation.. It’s a chemical bond that is not an actual physical structure. It is actually an energy relationship that is between electrons of a reacting atom.

3. Role of Electrons Electrons are normally found around the nucleus, that is called the electron shells/ energy cells. You cant have more than 7 electron shells in an atom. Electrons closest to the nucleus are the strong. Those further away are not securely held.

4. Most Important Electrons Electrons that are most important are the ones in the valence shell, which is the outermost electron.

5. Roles of Electrons An atom is stable when there is 8 electrons. Atoms lose and gain electrons or share so it can become stable. The key to chemistry is the rule of 8. The rule of 8 is you have to have 8 electrons.

6. Types of Bonds Ionic bonds: when electrons are transferred completely to another atom from an atom. Ion: no longer balanced or charged particles. Salts: compounds formed by ionic bonding. Covalent Bonds: atoms share electrons. Hydrogen Bonds: super weak, formed when hydrogen atoms bond to one electron, nitrogen, or hydrogen atom.
