5.2

~Molecules~

In 5.2 we learned about molecules and covalent bonds.We learned how atoms can share electrons. We also learned how to draw Lewis structures properly. We learned how to apply the relationship between bond energy and length of single, double, and triple bonds. Finally, we learned how to write names for binary covalent compounds.

Need to Know

- Difference between ionic and covalent bonds

- How nonmetals share electrons

- How to draw Lewis structures properly

- Bond energy and length of bonds

- How to write covalent compounds

5.2 was slightly challenging. The hardest part (without the flow chart) would be knowing the difference between ionic and covalent compounds and being able to write them properly.

We need to know about molecules as we move into inter-molecular forces..
