How do atoms interact with one another?

Previously...

You've learnt that an atom is made of protons, neutrons and electrons. 

But what affects how atoms react with one another?

Let's Explore!

Watch this video to get a rough idea of how atoms bond with each other.

Take note of the following: 

 

  • How are ionic bonds form?

  • How are covalent bonds form?

  • What kind of electrons participate in bonding? 

Next, explore the two tutorials: 

Ionic bonding

Covalent bonding

Critique the following video:

 

  • What are the concepts that they have brought about clearly and accurately?

  • What concepts did they not discuss?

  • What misconceptions might a student learning bonding get from the video?
