List the three types of chemical bonds and explain the differences among them?

Question

Wyatt Adkins · Accepted Answer

1:ionic bonding:It is done between metal and non metal.The metal loses and electron and gives it to the nonmetal.For example Na+ and Cl- so they make NaCl

2:Covalent Bonding:It is done between 2 non metals and they both share electrons for example H+ and OH- and they make H2O

3:Metallic Bonding:It is the strong attraction between closely packed positive metal ions and a 'sea' of delocalised electrons.An example is any metal like Zinc Iron etc

Wyatt Adkins · Answer

Covalents share electrons, ions give them and stick like magnets, and metals form a sea of electrons.

Atoms are held together by chemical bonds, which occur when electrons organize into shells around the nucleus; the innermost shell, which can contain two electrons, can hold eight electrons after that, with the exception of transition metals and very large atoms. Atoms bond so that their outer shells are full of electrons and they become stable, like noble gases. Covalent bonds are formed when two atoms share electrons; the electrons' orbitals overlap between the two atoms to satisfy their mutual needs and stabilize the system; as a result, the two (exclusively non-metal) atoms are unable to readily separate from one another, forming a bond akin to blood brothers. Ionic bonds resemble blood donations in that two charged atoms, like North and South on a magnet, cling to each other when a metal atom donates electrons to a non-metal atom. Since electrons are negatively charged, this makes the non-metal more negative and the metal more positive. Only metals have metallic bonds. When extra electrons in metal atoms are dropped, the metal becomes a positive ion. The extra electrons then become a sea of negative electrons. Positive metals cling to negative electrons to form a massive metallic lattice structure. Energy is conducted through metals by free electrons.

Henry Antrim · Answer

undefined The three types of chemical bonds are:
1. Ionic bonds: Formed between ions with opposite charges.
2. Covalent bonds: Formed by sharing electrons between atoms.
3. Metallic bonds: Formed between metal atoms by sharing a sea of delocalized electrons.
