GENERAL CHEMISTRY 101
IONIC and COVALENT
BONDING
In this section, we shall discuss
chemical bonds. Chemical compounds
are formed by the joining of two or more atoms. A stable compound occurs
when the total energy of the combination has lower energy than the
separated atoms. The properties of a substance are, in part, determined
by the chemical bonds that hold them together. [..see
syllabus]...
(Its important that you complete the
"self-
.......exercises in each section!)

Self Assessment Tests
Concurrently you should review the appropriate
rea(s)
as needed.
In addition to the regular homework assignments of problems from the text,
self paced exercises, activities, quizzes, and virtual/practicals are
incorporated in each major section of this course. It is important, to
the extent possible, that each student take maximum advantage of these
study aids!
