Covalent Bonds Covalent chemical bonds involve the sharing of a pair of valence electrons by two atoms, in contrast to the transfer of electrons in ionic bonds. Such bonds lead to stable molecules if they share electrons in such a way as to create a noble gas configuration for each atom.

Using puzzle pieces to teach ionic bonding

These scaffolded Cornell Doodle Notes combine two effective note-taking strategies and cover the concept of an ion as a charged atom, why atoms give away or take electrons, how to determine and write the charge for an ion, the difference between cations and anions, the concept of an ionic bond as an...
