Oh, chemical bonds
They're so much fun!
Atoms come together

To form a molecule
Metallic and covalent and electronegativity
Ionization


Metallic bonds come from metal atoms
That are surrounded by a sea of electrons

Most of them have vacant outer p-orbitals and d-orbitals
Which are delocalized and move freely amongst them


We go to covalent bonds now
Now we share electron pairs
Pair nonmetal elements

Elements form Lewis structure
With single, double, and triple bonds
Bonds show valence electrons

How they're distributed
Stay with me I can make,
Make you glad you bond


Oh chemical bonds
They're so much fun

Sometimes electrons
Exchange themselves
This will form ionic bonds

It's fun to bond
Now let's make some salts


Salt crystals form from a neutralization reaction
Between an acid and a metal hydroxide
They're held together by electrostatic attraction

In repeating patterns of positive and negative ions

Electronegativity

Is the ability
To attract electrons
And is measured on the Pauling scale

The strongest being FONCl
Elements with great differences
Tend to form ionic bonds

But similar electronegativity
Will form covalent bonds


Onto ionization
It's energy required
To remove an electron

From an atom
This will make it positive and form a cation
Lower ionization

Forms ionic bonds

Oh chemical bonds

They share electrons
To stabilize itself
With the octect rule


Oh chemical bonds
They're so much fun

Atoms come together
To form molecules
Covalent and metallic and electronegativity

Ionization
I'm glad you can bond
