  1. Atom = smallest unit of an element • Molecule = smallest unit of compound

  2. Valence electrons • The electrons in one atom that are able to form bonds with another atom. • The closer the atom is to having 8 valence electrons , the more stable it is. Where are the valence electrons?

  3. Covalent Bond • Electrons are shared between atoms. • 1 bond is when atoms share 2 electrons • Nonmetal with nonmetal • Neither atom is strong enough to pull an electron away from the other so they share.

  4. Bonds • Two atoms can form single, double or triple bonds between them. • Two atoms can form no more than 3 bonds between them.
