One day at devils island, there was 3 friends 

named ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds. The 

three were so different, but were still good 

friends. Ionic bond was born when metallic 

atoms donated valence electrons. Covalent bond 

was born when two nonmetallic atoms came and 

shared valence electrons with care. Now Metallic 

bond was born by a pool of valence electrons of 

obviously, metallic atoms, giving negative 

charges   to hold positive charged metallic ions 

together. Charges were the kids.  

There was this very nice dude named Lewis 

who created a way for valence electrons to 

hang out somewhere, so he found this kid 

walking up some stairs, named phosphorus 

and gave him 5 electrons and told him to 

place it in order around him, 1 electron on 

the top first, then 1 on the right side, 1 on 

the bottom , and one on the left side. With 

the 1 left but it in order clockwise, so on the 

right side Watch this!

In metals, electrons are delocalized, which 

means the electrons run around the atom 

FREE!!!!! The outside electrons of the metal 

atoms seemed to be kind and shared/sacrificed 

some of their electrons in an electron sea. 

Nobody's got time to look at complicated things. 

Look at this and BAM!!! you will get it. LOOK ON 

THE NEXT PAGE CONDUCTIVITY OF DELOCALIZED 

ELECTRONS AND THE ELECTRON SEA. What a 

combo!.The cation kid on the next page is a positively 

charged particle, think of it as that simple.

WANNA SEE SOMETHING RAD!!!!!

The Sea Of Electrons.

As I was saying, the ionic bond had many 

properties that made him unique. He forms 

crystals/ crystalline solids, which makes him 

brittle. They melt at very high melting points, 

is that good or bad? and also he can conduct 

electricity when dissolved in water!!!!!!!!!!! So 

in this forest there is only one hero, ionic bond 

who has these properties to protect the forest. 

This was his born talent.

Now that ionic bond has his own unique thing, 

its covelant bond's turn. This guy has got 

gasses, liquids, or solids, low melting points, 

which is the complete opposite of ionic bond, 

and also poor electrical conductivity, come on 

covalent, your making ionic look better than 

you. Well, covalent does have a benefit of 

being all round gasses, liquids, and solids. So 

now that covalent has pretty much lost this 

competition, he is hiding in his basement, 

strangely full of windows.

Here comes the big guy, Metallic bond, who is 

probably going to win this competition of "Who 

is the best?" One of his properties is being 

malleable, which means able to be smashed 

without breaking. Two other properties are 

ductile, which means being able to be drawn 

out into a thin wire, and the last is being able 

to conduct electricity, which is one similarity it 

has with ionic bond. He now lives his life in a 

cave protecting it with his mighty 

powers/properties.
