Ionic and covalent bonds are fundamental concepts in chemistry that help us understand how atoms come together to form molecules. Learning about these bonds can sometimes be overwhelming, but in this article, we will break it down and make it easy to understand.
Let’s start with ionic bonds. These bonds occur between atoms with a significant difference in electronegativity. Electronegativity is the measure of an atom’s ability to attract electrons towards itself. In an ionic bond, one atom (usually a metal) donates electrons to another atom (usually a non-metal) to achieve stability.
Imagine you have two atoms, sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl). Sodium has one electron in its outer shell, and chlorine requires one more electron to complete its outer shell. Sodium willingly gives away its electron to chlorine, forming a positive sodium ion (Na+) and a negative chlorine ion (Cl-). These opposite charges attract each other, resulting in the formation of an ionic bond.
Covalent bonds, on the other hand, occur between atoms with similar electronegativity. In this type of bond, atoms share their electrons with each other to achieve stability. Covalent bonds are usually found in molecules composed of two or more non-metal atoms.
Take for instance a water molecule (H₂O). Oxygen (O) has six electrons in its outer shell, and it needs two more electrons to complete its octet. Hydrogen (H), on the other hand, has one electron and requires one more electron to complete its outer shell. In a covalent bond, one oxygen atom shares two electrons, one from each hydrogen atom, resulting in the formation of two covalent bonds. This allows both oxygen and hydrogen to fulfill their octets and form a stable water molecule.
Understanding the difference between ionic and covalent bonds is essential in chemistry. Ionic bonds typically occur between metals and non-metals, while covalent bonds form between non-metals. Ionic bonds are formed through the transfer of electrons, resulting in ions with opposite charges attracting each other. Covalent bonds are formed through the sharing of electrons, creating stable molecules.
In summary, ionic and covalent bonds are two types of chemical bonds that explain how atoms come together to form molecules. Ionic bonds involve the transfer of electrons and occur between metals and non-metals. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons and occur between non-metals. Understanding these concepts will lay a solid foundation for further exploration in the field of chemistry.
This was great! Please make more videos..
Wow I love this video
Shii is mad boring we tryna watch dis in class an I keep falling aslepp
"Chlorine shares its one atom with Hydrogen"?!?!? It has 7 in its outer shell!!!
Why 8 in 3n and not 18?
now I am confused…
1 needs another one,
4 needs four more, but –
7 needs one more?!?
found out here that more atoms needed to be stable!
no one said this so far…
the music is superfluous and annoying.
Simple and helpful for students with LDs
Please Please Please drop the moronic background noise …. Pllleeaaassseee
This sound is used in our cooking videos
How is an ionic bond not sharing electrons
I need your videos to get through this semester successfully . Do you have another channel??
Great info, but the music is distracting. It needs to be much quieter so it doesn't overpower your words. Thanks for making these concepts so easy to understand!

omg lol
Well done, music is upbeat & is not an issue…I’m a teacher.
It has really helped me understand this topic. Plz make more science related videos
they taught me more in 5 minutes than my chemistry teacher taught me in like 2 weeks thank u so much !!
Gta
i am literally seeing this for a test and guess what iitss the same day the video was uploaded
Man you are colorblind
The music is super loud and I think everyone will agree
#OnlineSchool
how can it be liquid or gas yet have a fixed shape?
thank you you helped me alot
thank you very much, it is unrivaled
Talented
How about "Covalent" is "co" and "valent" put together….meaning the electrons become valence electrons to both atoms
Yes
This music is such shit
Fuck this video is the worst
Just turn on the captions for better understanding! 🙂
Background music is so disturbing hence hate your presentation
Nice, it helped me out
Great video!
Thank you!!
The best explanation of , Ionic and Covalent bonds
Very good explaination. I understood very nicely
The music is interfering with understanding you
