Lewis Symbols — purpose?
Represent valence electrons for bonding.
Chemical Bond Types — main types?
Covalent, ionic, and coordinate bonds.
Covalent Bond Formation — mechanism?
Sharing electron pairs between atoms.
Chemical bond — definition?
Attractive force holding atoms/molecules together.
Covalent bond — formation?
Mutual sharing of electron pairs between atoms.
Ionic bond — formation?
Electron transfer from metal to non-metal.
Coordinate bond — special covalent?
Both electrons donated by one atom.
Bond polarity — depends on?
Electronegativity difference between atoms.
Bond length — relationship to strength?
Shorter bonds are generally stronger.
Resonance — effect on stability?
Delocalization of electrons increases stability.
