This GCSE/IGCSE Chemistry paper focuses on the different types of chemical bonding, including ionic, covalent, and metallic bonds. It explains how atoms interact to form bonds based on electron transfer or sharing, and the resulting impact on the properties of compounds. The paper covers the formation of ions in ionic bonding, the concept of electron pairs in covalent bonds, and the delocalized electron system in metallic bonding. The paper also includes examples of compounds formed through each type of bond, along with their physical and chemical properties. Practical examples are discussed to show the relevance of these bonds in real-world applications, such as in salts, water, and metals.
