Lewis Theory of Chemical Bonding •  In Lewis theory, a chemical bond involves

the sharing or transfer of electrons to attain stable electron configurations for the bonding atoms.

•  If the electrons are transferred, the bond is an ionic bond.

•  If the electrons are shared, the bond is a covalent bond.

•  In either case, the bonding atoms attain stable electron configurations.
