Summary<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Every substance in the universe has the tendency to attain stability.Elements like Helium,
Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon and Radon are stable elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noble Gases<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

These stable elements have either two or eight electrons in their outermost shells. These stable elements are called noble gases or inert gases. And they are non reative.They are also called rare gases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the noble gases are Helium,Neon,Argon,Krypton,Xenon,Radon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Electronic configuration of noble gases<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The formation of molecules of compounds and elements depend on several factors. One of the most important factors is its electronic configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elements that have an electronic configuration other than
that of the noble gases try to attain stability either by,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Transfer of electrons (by donating or gaining electrons) from other atoms.<\/li>
  2. Sharing of electrons with other atoms.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Its electronic configuration is 2,8,1. One electron in sodium\u2019s outer most shell makes it
    unstable. Its tendency is to attain stability. It can do so by combining with chlorine whose electronic configuration is 2,8,7 forming the compound sodium chloride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Chemical bond.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A chemical bond is defined as a mutual attraction or link between two atoms resulting from a redistribution of the electrons in their outer most shell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The bond formed in the sodium chloride molecule is by the transfer of one electron from sodium atom to the chlorine atom. Chemical bonds can also be formed other wise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Types of chemical bonds :<\/span><\/strong>
    There are two types of chemical bonds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Electrovalent bond or ionic bond.<\/li>
    2. Covalent bond.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Electrovalent bond or Ionic bond<\/strong>:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

      In the formation of the compound potassium chloride, one electron in the outer most shell of potassium is transferred to the outer most shell of chlorine which has 7 electrons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      From the above example<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In the above examples of sodium chloride, potassium chloride and magnesium oxide, the link between the atoms is formed by complete transfer of one or two electrons.
      The chemical bond formed as a result of the transfer of electrons from on atom of an element to an atom of another element is called an electrovalent bond or an ionic bond. Compounds formed by electrovalent or ionic bonds are called electrovalent or ionic compounds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Covalent bonds <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

      The atomic number of hydrogen is 1. That means its one and only outer most shell contains one electron. To attain stability it needs 1 electron to complete its shell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This molecule of hydrogen is represented as H _ H. \u2018 _ \u2019 indicates a pair of electrons being shared. Thus hydrogen molecule is formed by the sharing of one pair of electrons. This is a single
      covalent bond.Electronic configuration of chlorine is 2,8,7. A chlorine molecule is formed by the sharing of one pair of electrons. It is a single covalent bond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Compound formed by a shared pair of electrons.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

      Hydrogen and chlorine atoms share one pair of electrons forming a hydrogen chloride molecule. The hydrogen chloride molecule is formed by a single covalent bond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Covalent bond or molecular bond<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The chemical bond formed between two or more combining atoms by mutual sharing of one or more electrons of non- metallic atoms is called a covalent bond or molecular
      bond.The molecule or compound formed due to covalent bonds is called a covalent molecule or covalent compound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Ionic compounds and covalent compounds have specific characteristics.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
