Molecular and Ionic Compound Structure and Properties

This study guide covers chemical bonds and molecular structures, focusing on ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds. It explains concepts like intramolecular forces, potential energy, Coulomb's Law, and the structure of ionic solids, metals, and alloys. It also teaches Lewis diagrams, resonance, formal charge, VSEPR theory, and hybridization to predict molecular shapes. Key vocabulary includes terms like cation, anion, octet rule, and molecular geometry.
