Group 1 – The Alkali Metals
• Watch the demo.• Write down your observations.• Write down the chemical reactions (word and
symbol)
Group 1 and 7 elements react with each other.
• Can you explain why?
In an IONIC bond,electrons are lost or gained,resulting in the formation of IONS
in ionic compounds.

The compound potassium fluorideconsists of potassium (K+) ions
and fluoride (F-) ions

The ionic bond is the attractionbetween the positive K+ ion
and the negative F- ion
Covalent bonding
Sowhatarecovalentbonds?
In covalent bonding,atoms still want to achievea noble gas configuration.
In covalent bonding,atoms still want to achievea noble gas configuration.
But rather than losing or gainingelectrons,atoms now share an electron pair.

The shared electron pairis called a bonding pair

ClClHowwilltwochlorineatomsreact?
ClClEach chlorine atom wants to gain one electron to achieve an octet
ClClNeither atom will give up an electron –chlorine is highly electronegative.

Oxygen atoms are highly electronegative.
So both atoms want to gain two electrons.

What is a covalent bond?
Atoms ___________ one or more electrons with each other to form the bond.
Each atom is left with a ________________ outer shell.
A covalent bond forms between two _________________.
