Models of Bonding and Structure
Ionic, Covalent, Metallic bonding — and the materials they create.
2.1 The Ionic Model
Ion formation, ionic bonds, lattice enthalpy, and physical properties.
→2.2 The Covalent Model
Lewis structures, VSEPR, polarity, IMFs, hybridization.
→2.3 The Metallic Model
Sea of electrons, bond strength trends, transition metals.
→2.4 From Models to Materials
Bonding continuum, alloys, polymers, condensation.
