Ionic and Covalent bond.
Storyboard Text
- Hello there! I just live across the street, I'm Hydrogen Perez, by the way.
- H2
- Oh, you're our new neighbor! Welcome to Electron Village!
- Yeah, sure.
- Hi, I'm Sulfur Rivera. I just recently moved here.
- Yes
- Do you want to come in? I just finished cleaning up.
- S
- N
- I heard that you're a non-metal.
- So we're just sharing electrons huh?
- H2
- May I ask how exactly a covalent bond is formed?
- Uh, yes, I'm a non-metal and I have six valence electrons.
- I'm a non-metal as well, with one velance electrons
- Oh, we can make a covalent bond!
- S
- How about you?
- YES
- A covalent bond is a chemical bond formed when two atoms share so both atoms end up with eight valence electrons, and it occurs between two non-metals, just like us.
- Yeah sure, I'm heading out before it gets dark. However, it was a pleasure to meet you.
- By the way, I have a friend who is looking for a bond. Perhaps you have a friend who is looking for a bond as well.
- H2
- Here's my number. Just text me the details so I can tell my friend, Bye.
- Yup, bye!
- Yes, my friend is looking for a bond too. We can set them up so they can meet each other.
- S
- The Following day...
-
- Hey, I'm Sodium Soriano. It's nice to meet you. So I heard you're looking for a bond as well. Are you a nonmetal, perhaps?
- Na
-
- And how about you? Are you a non-metal?
- Oh no, I am a metal with a single valence electron. I'm a cation too
- Hi! My name is Chlorine Ferrer, I have seven valence electrons, and yes, I am a non-mental. I'm an anion, by the way.
- Cl
-
- Oh, yes, I'm looking for someone to form an ionic bond with.
- I'd be willing to give you my one electron, so here it is.
- Our charges are attracted to each other, forming an Ionic bond huh.
- Na
-
- Ionic bonding happens between a metal and a non-metal, Right?
- They are, indeed.
- Later that week...
- Yes, an ionic bond is a chemical bond formed by the attraction of two oppositely charged ions. Conversely, a metal and a non-metal can gain and lose electrons to form a cation and an anion.
- Cl
- Really? Thank you so much!
-
-
- I'm so close to having a full valence shell, I just need one more valence electron.
- No biggie, How have you two been doing?
- H2
- yeah, were lucky huh.
- So lucky.
- We're fine, we've just been sharing electrons since then.
- yeah, really lucky.
- So, what's the deal with you and sulfur?
- Na
- Na + Cl =NaCl
-
- Were bonding a lot, which was great.
- Hey, thanks for introducing me to chlorine.
