Atomic Bonding Song

In my outer electron shell
Lies an electron all by itself.
I seek elation
Through oxidation.
I have always felt incomplete,
One electron shy of eighteen.
I’ve the highest
Electron affinity.
If we exchange this one electron,
We’ll both achieve noble gas config’ration,
And we’ll release energy.
As ions you’ll see,
A bond

Made by metals and non-metals.
I’m positive,
I’m negative.
A force of attraction creates this bond,
Made by metals and non-metals.

Ionic bonds,
Covalent bonds,
Metallic, these are the bonds of chemistry.
The octet rule says atoms like eight
Electrons in their outermost state.

I’ll share mine with you,
I’ll share with you.
If we both share these six electrons,
We’ll both achieve noble gas config’ration,
And we’ll release energy.
Covalent there’ll be,
A bond.

Electronegativity
Is similar for non-metals,
And so, we share this bond of electrons.

Electronegativity,
Ionic bonds,
Covalent bonds,
Metallic, these are the bonds of chemistry.

Free electrons all around,
Mutual attractive forces abound.
In this way I will stay
Crystalline with you,
Our bond.

Ionic bonds,
Covalent bonds,
Metallic, these are the bonds of chemistry.

Finding 1 on the number line

I’m here at the Khan Academy exercise called “Find One on the Number Line,” and they’re asking us to do exactly that. It says move the dot to one on the number line, and it’s a little interactive dot that I could move around. So let’s think about how I wo…
