Chemical Bonds:Stability in Bonding Chapter 20 Section 1
Compounds • Combination of Elements • Properties different than the individual elements Ex: Sodium Chloride(NaCl) Table Salt Na – highly reactive Cl – Poisonous Gas NaCl - Stable
Formulas • Chemical Formula • The elements a compound contains and the exact number of atoms of each element • Examples: Sand – Silicon Dioxide – SiO2 Cane Sugar – Sucrose – C12H22O11
Atomic Stability • Stable when the outer energy level is complete • Noble Gases • 8 valence electrons
Atoms with partially stable outer energy levels can gain, lose, or share electrons
Ionic Bond • NaCl
H2O Covalent Bond
