Atoms combine with other atoms to have a more stable electron configuration
When a bond is formed, energy is released (exothermic)
A chemical bond is an attractive force between two atoms
1. Ionic Bonding
Created by the attraction between positive ion (cations) and negative ions
(anions)
Solid ionic compounds arranged in crystal lattice structure
Generally formed between metals (tend to lose electrons) and nonmetals
(tend to gain electrons)
Electrons are transferred from the metal atom to the nonmetal atom to
create opposite charged ions
In Lewis structures for ionic compounds, metals always have zero valence electrons and nonmetals always have
eight.
Flourine has 7 from its own valence electrons and 1 from Li (light dot)
2. Metallic Bonding
Attraction between positive metal ions and mobile electrons between the
metal ions (think of “a sea of electrons” where the positive metal ions
floating within the electrons)
The mobile electrons explains properties of metals (malleable, ductile,
good conductors of electricity and heat)
Notice the difference between ionic bonding and metallic bonding: ionic
bonding results from the attraction between opposite charged ions
whereas metallic bonding is the attraction of only positive metal ions and
the negatively charged mobile electrons. There is no negative ion in a
metallic bond.

3. Covalent Bonding
Ex.
The double lines represent two pairs of shared electrons (double bond)
What other elements exist as diatomic molecules at STP and how many bonds are between their two
atoms in Lewis Structures? (BrINClHOF)

*You should know the overall differences between ionic, covalent, and metallic compounds:
eg. melting/boiling points, electrical conductivity, general solubility in water
Ex.
Draw the dipole arrows of each bond in the molecule to determine the
distribution of charge
Molecules that have an asymmetric distribution of charge are called POLAR
molecules (H2O, NH3, HCl, CH3Cl)
The more negative end of the molecule has a partial negative charge (𝛿-) and the
more positive end has a partial positive charge (𝛿+)

Dipole Forces
Hydrogen Bonding
Ion-Dipole Forces
An ion-dipole force is an attractive force that results from the electrostatic attraction between
an ion and a polar molecule
Ex.
*The three common names that you will be responsible for memorizing are:
ammonia (NH3), water (H2O), and methane (CH4)

1. Polyatomic Ions
a. All of the polyatomic ions (and their charges) that you need to know are provided for
you in Table E of the NYS Chemistry Reference Tables.
b. Compounds containing polyatomic ions are IONIC. But the bonds within the
polyatomic ions themselves are covalent. So compounds containing polyatomic ions
contain both ionic and covalent bonds.
Ex.
2. Allotropes (Not covered on this test but will most likely be on midterm/regents)
a. Atoms of the same element that are arranged in different molecular structures.
Because of these different molecular structures, they have different chemical and
physical properties.
Ex: O2(elemental oxygen) and O3 (ozone), Diamond and Graphite (Different structural
arrangements of the element Carbon), Red Phosphorous and White Phosphorous

3. Network Solids
a. Network solids are macromolecules (large molecules) being held together by networks
of covalent bonds.
Ex:
b. Because network solids have so many bonds within them, they have HIGH MELTING
AND BOILING POINTS, and they are INSOLUBLE.
c. Additionally, it is important to know that they DO NOT CONDUCT ELECTRICITY IN
EITHER THE SOLID OR LIQUID FORM (the only exception to this graphite, but this is an
EXCEPTION)
d. The examples you must know of network solids are: Diamonds, Graphite, and SiO2
(Quartz).
4. Coordinate Covalent Bonds (Not covered on this test but will most likely be on
midterm/regents)
a. In a typical (non-coordinate) covalent bond, one electron is being shared by each of
the two atoms that are bonded.
Ex:
b. In a coordinate covalent bond, one atom is donating BOTH of the electrons to the
bond, so it is required that the atom donating the electrons has a free lone pair of
electrons to donate.
Ex:
