Click on the links. Click "view" and go through the interactive activities of each of these links. Summarize in notes of what you have learned and answer the sets of questions provided (below) by Mr. Melton in your exercise book. Write your answers in full sentences.

 * Discussion Questions: Ionic Bonding **
 * Why do ionic bonds form between metals and nonmetals?
 * In the activity, when Na lost an e - it shrank and the Cl + grew in size. Does that say anything about the location of the electron before and after it was transferred?
 * Why can different numbers of metal and nonmetal atoms create ionic bonds together?


 * Discussion Questions: Covalent Bonding **
 * What do you observe when you move two hydrogen atoms closer together?
 * Why do you think nonmetals tend to be good at sharing electrons?
 * Can one atom in this type of reaction win the "tug of war"? What might happen if it did?
 * How can a piece of wood floating on water illustrate the condition of lowest potential energy and maximum stability?
