The Noble gas elements (group #18) have atoms with complete outer shells. These elements are very stable and chemically nonreactive. These stable configurations are favoured states in nature and the electrons in them are in their lowest energy state.
One of the basic drives in nature is towards less energy. Atoms with configurations other that those of the Noble gases attempt to gain more stable configurations (having lower energy) by losing, sharing or gaining electrons.
The following assignments examine the various types of bonds formed between atoms and the properties and types of substances that can be created by these bond types.
Assignment #1: Types of Chemical Bonds
