Chemical Bonding Explained Simply | Ionic, Covalent & Metallic Bonds | SS1 Chemistry (PART 2)

Why do atoms join together? What is the difference between ionic, covalent and metallic bonding? In this SS1 Chemistry Week 7 lesson, Mrs. Okpe explains chemical bonding step by step, using simple explanations and familiar examples. In this lesson, you will learn: • Why atoms form chemical bonds. • The meaning of valence electrons. • How ionic bonding involves electron transfer and attraction between oppositely charged ions. • How covalent bonding involves sharing electrons. • How metallic bonding explains why metals conduct electricity and can be bent or shaped. • Hydrogen bonding and how it differs from the covalent bonds inside water molecules. • How bonding affects melting point, boiling point and electrical conductivity. • How to name simple compounds. This lesson is suitable for SS1 students, learners revising senior secondary Chemistry, and anyone who wants a clearer understanding of chemical bonding. Try the lesson questions yourself before checking the answers. Subscribe to Science with Mrs. Okpe for more Chemistry and Junior Intermediate Science lessons.
