Mills Canyon

The Mills Canyon field trip was fun, i really like the outdoors and walking along the creek jumping from rock to rock, except all of the mosquitos, i felt like i was going to get Malaria.

My Chem Standard



A Covalent Bond is: the bond formed by the sharing of a pair of electrons by attracted atoms.

bond formed between nonmetal atoms
electronegativity can affect polarity of the molecule
two atoms share as many electrons as needed to make a full valence shell

An Ionic Bond is
: the electrostatic bond between two ions formed through the transfer of one or more electrons.

bond between metal and nonmetal
