. . . . still with Mr. Lewis.

| LEDS is used mainly for s&p block elements.Atoms combine to assume the stable configuration of the noble gasses with 8 valence electrons.This is the octet rule or rule of 8. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
| | |
| And there are 2 ways to assume a stable configuration.These are by gaining or losing electrons or by sharing electrons.By the way the "L" in LEDS stands for your surname "Lewis". | |

Flashback to 1776 with Mr. Dalton.
|
|
|
|
| | |
| Hello John Dalton! I'm Arianne, I'm here to collect research data about the atom. I was told that you have recently formed a theory based on your experiments? | |
| | |
|
 |
| | |
| Well You have been correctly informed. I've come up with the theory that all matter is made up of atoms, the smallest piece of matter. Also, all atoms of an element are exactly alike. | |

Parting words from Mr. Lewis.
|
|
|
|
| | |
| By gaining or losing electrons,atoms becomes ions.Ions are charged particles.The bond formed between unlike charges is called ionic bond and the compound formed is called ionic compound. | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| And the bond formed by sharing electrons is called covalent bond.The compound formed is called a covalent compound.Thanks a lot Mr. Lewis,you're a great help. Bye! | |
