Bonding I: Ionic, Metallic, and Covalent Bonding

This comprehensive program introduces students to the three types of chemical bonds: ionic, metallic, and covalent. Review topics, such as electron configurations and valence shells, provide the foundation on which learning about bonds is built. Through the use of colorful artwork, the process of bonding becomes crystal clear when students see the transferring and sharing of electrons between atoms. Engaging animations illustrate properties that the bonding electrons confer on each bond type. The use of common compounds and molecules when possible lends familiarity to this essential subject.

Interesting Facts:

Although diamonds and graphite are composed of carbon atoms, diamond is one of the hardest known materials and graphite is one of the softest. The difference in hardness is due to the different structures formed by the different bonding pattern between the carbon atoms.
