Reflection+of+science+topic+-+Chemical+bonding

After learning the two topics, we then went on to learn chemical bonding.
====Basically chemical bonding refers two or more different atoms bond together. For chemical bonding, I learnt two different types of bonding, which are ionic bonding and covalent bonding. Ionic bonding is usually formed between metallic element and non-metallic element. For ionic bonding, one element has to lose several electrons to obtain an octet structure. The electrons that the element loses will be transferred to another element. That element will also obtain an octet structure after receiving the electrons. And this process is ionic bonding. For covalent bonding, it is very different from ionic bonding. Elements that undergo covalent bonding do not transfer electrons but instead they share electrons. By sharing electrons, they will be able to form bonds to gain electronic configuration of a noble gas.====

====I feel that the topic chemical bonding is not very hard for me to learn it well. For this topic, all I need to do is to understand the different methods of bonding, how does the bonding happen, and able to draw ‘dot and cross’ diagrams. I did not need to memorise hard like what I did for the previous topic. I have been able to learn this topic well by just listening during Ms Nada’s lesson and reading the notes. However, I still had some parts of the topic that I could not understand. But by asking Ms Nada the questions related to this topic, I have been able to understand everything quite thoroughly. =)====
