Chemical Bonding: Basics and Types

This lecture introduces the concept of chemical bonding, starting with the structure of Lewis and the formation of a chemical bond through the sharing of electrons between atoms. It covers different types of bonds such as ionic, covalent, and metallic, explaining their characteristics and properties. The lecture also explores the relationship between electronegativity and bond polarity, as well as the formation of ions and their behavior in solution. Additionally, it delves into the principles of Lewis theory, valence electrons, and the rules for writing electron configurations in molecules.
