Bonding

Video Summary

This video is about chemical bonding. It discusses the different types of bonds: covalent, ionic, and metallic. Covalent bonds form when atoms share electrons. They are the strongest type of bond and are found in molecules such as water and methane. Ionic bonds form when atoms transfer electrons to each other. They are found in compounds such as sodium chloride and calcium fluoride. Metallic bonds form when atoms share electrons in a sea of electrons. They are found in metals such as gold and silver.
