Wrap-Up

Summary

Now that you have worked your way through this lesson you should be able to figure out what type of bonding will hold together any collection of atoms. You should also be able to figure out whether those atoms will bond together as molecules or networks. In addition, you should be able to figure out whether they will bond together as an element, an alloy or a compound. Of course, if it is a compound, you should be able to name it. Throughout all of this you should be able to explain what happens to the electrons of individual, isolated atoms when they come in contact with and fall under the influence of other atoms because that is what bonding is all about.

covalent - ionic - metallic

molecules - networks

element - alloy - compound

name compounds

what happens to electrons

To help you practice these things I suggest you work through exercise 31 in your workbook. You can check your answers with the instructor. You have been assigned exercise 31 in place of a lab report this lesson.

After that I recommend that you review the objectives for this lesson and take the self-quiz for practice, and do the problem set.
