Introduction
• In 1916 when Kossel and Lewis succeeded independently in giving a satisfactory and first provided some logical explanation of valence which was based on the inertness of noble gases. • Lewis postulated that atoms achieve the stable octet when they are linked by chemical bonds. • Chemical bonds can form either by the transfer of electrons (ionic bond) or by sharing of electrons (covalent bonding).
Pre-Requisites:
Matter, noble gases, molecules, atoms, periodic table, chemical bond
Activity:
All matter, piece of wood, bucket, chalk, universe are all composed of molecules.
Real Life Question:
How does matter form?
Key Words / FlashCards
| Key Words | Definitions (pref. in our own words) |
|---|---|
| Electrostatic bond | • The bond formed, as a result of the electrostatic attraction between the positive and negative ions was termed as the electrovalent bond. |
Learning aids / Gadgets
| Gadgets | How it can be used |
|---|---|
| Magnet and iron object | See how attractive forces exist between the magnet and the iron object. Similarly a chemical bond is formed between two atoms. |
Real life uses :
Bonding helps to bring stability, stable octet in case of chemical species.
Places to visit :
Kitchen, garage, park, garden
Practical examples around us
| Examples | Explainations |
|---|---|
| Wood, water, salt | All matter is made up of molecules. Molecules are made from atoms by chemical bonding. |
What you learn in Theory:
All matter is made up of atoms. Atoms combine by chemical bonding to produce molecules.
What you learn in Practice:
Chemical bonding helps to make different types of substances. Bonding takes place as all elements attempt to get a stable octet in their valence shells.
