, CHEMICAL BONDING
interaction of electrons between atoms
Have the ability to donate, receive, or
share electron to form a certain chemical
bond
CIE AS Chemistry
, CHEMICAL BONDING
Tends to reach stability by fulfilling the
electrons in the valance shell with maximum
numbers of electrons; valance electron
Form diatomic or polyatomic chemical
compound
CIE AS Chemistry
, CHEMICAL BONDING
Can be classified as intramolecular attraction
and intermolecular attraction
Intramolecular attraction Intermolecular attraction
Strong interaction Weak interaction
Holds individual atoms
Interaction between
together strongly through
molecules through weak
sharing or transfer of
attraction forces
electrons
The attraction force does not
The bond requires large
take a large amount of
amount of energy to break
energy to break
Ionic bonding, covalent Van der Waals, hydrogen
bonding bond, dipole-dipole forces
