CHEMICAL BONDING-Ionic, Covalent & Coordinate Bonding

Matter is made up of one or different type of elements. Under normal conditions no other element exists as an independent atom in nature, except noble gases. However, a group of atoms is found to exist together as one species having characteristic properties. Such a group of atoms is called a molecule. Obviously there must be some force which holds these constituent atoms together in the molecules. The attractive force which holds various constituents (atoms, ions, etc.) together in different chemical species is called a chemical bond.

The course takes you through the basics of ionic bonding, covalent bonding and coordinate bonding using examples. Lastly it compares ionic and covalent compounds and discusses pre-board questions (ICSE-10th - India)
