1 oxygen atom 2 hydrogen atoms A. Chemical Formula • Shows: 1) elements in the compound 2) ratio of their atoms H2O
B. Chemical Bond • Strong attractive force between atoms or ions in a molecule or compound. • Formed by: • transferring e- (losing or gaining) • sharing e-
Ne C. Stability • Octet Rule • most atoms form bonds in order to have 8 valence e- • full outer energy level • like the Noble Gases! • Stability is the driving force behind bond formation!
C. Stability • Transferring e- • Sharing e-
