FORMULAR BONDING AND NOMENCLATURE
BONDING: Is the process where atoms combine to form a molecules.
BOND: Is a force of attraction that holds atoms together to form molecules.
The stable structure can be formed by either;
Gain of electrons.
Loss of electrons.
Sharing of electrons, i.e: The number of electrons loss , gain or shared is equal to the valence of an element.
TYPES OF BONDING
There are two types of bonding;
Electrovalent bonding / Ionic bounding
Covalent bonding
1. ELECTROVALENT BONDING
Is the type of bonding where atoms gain or loss one or more electrons and stable inert configuration is attained.
OR
Is the type of bonding which involves the transfer of electron from one atom to another where both atoms acquire the stable structure.
