Basic things (part #1)

Hi guys👋😊 in this post we are going to talk about some basic things that I should have talked about earlier.

First we are going to talk about multi bonds. So you can actually have single bonds double bonds and triple bonds! Each bond is a pair of electrons, one from each atom. The oxygen that we breathe is two oxygens double bonded to each other.

The more bonds you have the stronger the bond, and the closer the atoms get. And if you have a single bond it can rotate, but if you have two or three bonds it can’t rotate.

In this drawing I drew, molecular oxygen, A single bond, A double bond, and a triple bond.

Now let’s talk about ions. So there are two types of ions. A cation and an anion. Ions are charged particles, charged atoms, or charged molecules. a cation is a positive charged ion, and an anion is a negative charged ion. And you will get an anion if you have more electrons then protons. And you will get a cation if you have more protons then electrons. And usually when you have an anion one of the atom names will end in ide. For instance chloride. There are hydrogen ions, usually they are cations. And generally anions and cations will react.

In this drawing I drew a hydrogen cation and a chlorine anion.

I wrote this from memory from what I learned in Khan Academy.

I know this is also a short post but this is the end of this post so bye(: :D😃😊👋:D:).
