C2 1. Structure and Bonding (Part One)

I want this to be at the least, a tad bit interesting..

1. Structure and Bonding

 Structure and bonding consists of 5 different Parts. Part One in my textbook (Nelson Thornes AQA  New GCSE published in 2011 - I am following the order of the content in my textbook hopefully this is similar to yours) is Chemical Bonding. So.. Chemical Bonding, let's get started!

Okay so firstly let's take it slow..

Covalent Bonding - we need to know that when atoms of non-metallic elements join together by sharing electrons it is called COVALENT BONDING!!

We need to understand that Elements react to form compounds by GAINING or LOSING electrons, or by SHARING electrons. In order to get full outer shells = 2.8.8.8.8.... Elements which already have full outer shells such as the NOBLE GASES therefore do not react with other elements as it does not need to gain, lose or share electrons in order to get a full outer shell. Is that clear? If not ask for help in the comments and I will answer A.S.A.P!
