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. |
