9. Lewis Structures I (Intro to Solid-State Chemistry)

OK, this is the thing. We've done a lot of work on ionic bonds. And I drew the ionic bond energy again, on Monday. And remember, in an ironic bond-- so let's take sodium chloride-- we have, oh, we're going to go Lewis, right? And people say, well, why did I draw that dot there. I could have drawn two dots there and that dot there. Sure. Yeah. But they're kind of looking at each other. So, you know. [LAUGHTER] And remember in an iconic bond chlorine is like, give me! I want! And that's the kind of relationship they have, right? And so this went into something like this, where sodium was like, OK, fine. Take it. I'm a plus now. And chlorine was like, thank you very much. I'm fully octeted, right? Like that. And that's the ionic bond. So this is ionic. And we learned this. OK, but see, there is another kind of bond that can happen. It's not all about taking and one per-- no. It can also be about sharing. About sharing. So if I have hydroge...
