Bonding
Atoms want to achieve noble gas electronic configuration
Ionic Bonding: Non-directional electrostatic attraction between
oppositely charged (positive and negative) ions
...

Structure: Giant Metallic Structure - regular arrangement of
positive ions surrounded by delocalised electrons
Covalent Bonds
Giant Covalent: Directional electrostatic attraction between
shared pairs of electrons and positively charged nuclei
• Non-metal combine to form stable electrostatic configuration
(overlapping of orbitals)
Structure: Giant Network Structure - atoms are connected by
covalent bond
Intermolecular Force: Molecules are attracted by a weak

intermolecular force (three types: Van der Waal’s force, Dipoledipole force and hydrogen Bond)
Structure: Covalent Bond holding atoms in a molecule, but weak
intermolecular force attracting molecules
Van der Waal’s Force - All molecules and noble gas atoms
• One end of atom having excess electron / proton over the other
(random fluctuation of electron - instantaneous) - temporary
dipole
• Electrons in the neighbouring molecules/atom are
Attracted to positive end of the temporary dipole
Repelled by negative end of the temporary dipole
• Form induced dipole
• Van der Wasl’s Force = attraction between induced dipole and
temporary dipole
• The molecular Mass - Larger molecules have more electron, more
chance of getting partically charged
Dipole-Dipole Attraction - Polar Molecule/ Atom ONLY
• Attraction between positive and negative end of polar molecule
• Determine: Difference in Electronegativity
Hydrogen Bonding - Molecules that have hydrogen bonded
• Hydrogen Atom is bonded to highly electronegative atoms
• The high electronegative atoms form sigma Properties
