Understanding Sodium Chloride and Chemical Bonds

Skibidi, let us dive into the dank world of sodium chloride, also known as table salt, a goon in the kitchen. Sodium is an alkali metal, super edgy and reactive, while chlorine is a toxic gas. But when these two bond, they create sodium chloride, a sigma compound safe for consumption. In this chapter, we will lowkey analyze the properties of ionic and molecular compounds. Expect to draw Lewis structures and build molecular models. You will predict bond nature using electronegativity and explore the formation differences between ionic and covalent bonds. Get ready to uncover the secrets of chemical bonding, goon style!
