Activity 3 1/11/2011 Bonding of Atoms

Describe covalent and ionic bonding?
Covalent bonding is when a bond is formed by a shared pair of electrons. Ionic bonding is a chemical bond that results when electrons are transferred from a metal to a nonmetal. The electrostatic attraction between ions of opposite charge.

What is electronegativity?
Electronegativity is the attraction of an atom in a compound for a pair of shared electrons in a chemical bound

List the electronegativity values for H, Na, Cl, and O.
 
H = 2.1
Na = .9
Cl = 3.0
O = 3.5
