IGCSE CHEMISTRY 
COMPOUNDS
C3 atoms, elements and compounds (AND C2 EXPERIMENTAL TECHNIQUES)

Before you start you can look back at 8EF Elements, Mixtures and Compounds. 

If you only remember one thing:

COVALENT BONDING IS ELECTRON SHARING. IONIC BONDING IS ATTRACTION BETWEEN IONS. METALLIC BONDING IS WITH FREE ELECTRONS.

This is the second of the 14 Chemistry units:
Atoms (C1-3)
Compounds (C1-3)
Mixtures (C2,3)
C4. Stoichyiometry
C5. Electricity and Chemistry 
C6. Energy Changes in Chemical Reactions
C7. Chemical Reactions
C8. Acids, Bases and Salts
C9. The PeriodicTable
C10. Metals
C11. Air and Water 
C12. Sulphur 
C13. Carbonates 
C14. Organic Chemistry

C1-3 Atoms
C2,3 MIXTURES
