5 Reasons Why We Should Learn About Bonding
We need to learn about bonding because it brings together essential elements like Oxygen and Hydrogen to form compounds that humans could not exist without. Without bonding, we would not be able to obtain the necessary fluids we need to survive. It brings together elements naturally that would otherwise not be able to stick together. Bonding helps create the fossil fuels that we rely on to live out daily life. We need these rich natural resources to stay warm and for transportation needs. Bonding also helps to give atoms full octets on the outer layer of electrons. Without bonding and molecules being able to give electrons to one another, atoms would not be happy without full sets of eight electrons in their outer shells. We should also learn about bonding because we can then learn about the electronegativity difference of the elements bonded and determine if the molecule is ionic or covalent. Bonding helps lead us to other important physical characteristics in chemistry. Lastly, bonding helps us understand how atoms come in contact with one another. For example, atoms will more often then not bond with other atoms that are missing the amount of electrons that they have to give. Bonding needs to be learned about to show how elements work together in chemistry.
