I. Why Atoms Combine
(p.298-302)
 Chemical Formula
 Chemical Bond
 Stability
A. Chemical Formula
• Shows:
1) elements in the compound
2) ratio of their atoms
H2O
1 oxygen atom
2 hydrogen atoms
B. Chemical Bond
• Strong attractive force between atoms or
ions in a molecule or compound.
• Formed by:
– transferring e- (losing or gaining)
– sharing e-
C. Stability
• Octet Rule
– most atoms form bonds in order to have 8
valence e– full outer energy level
– like the Noble Gases!
Ne
 Stability is the driving force behind bond
formation!
C. Stability
• Transferring e-
 Sharing e-

II. Kinds of Chemical Bonds
(p.304-308)
 Ionic Bond
 Covalent Bond
 Comparison Chart
A. Ionic Bond
• Attraction between 2 oppositely
charged ions
– Ions - charged atoms
– formed by
transferring efrom a metal
to a nonmetal
A. Ionic Bond
– ions form a 3-D crystal lattice
NaCl
B. Covalent Bond
• Attraction between neutral atoms
– formed by sharing e- between two nonmetals
B. Covalent Bond
– covalent bonds result in discrete molecules
Cl2
NH3
H2O
B. Covalent Bond
 Nonpolar Covalent Bond
• e- are shared equally
• usually identical atoms
B. Covalent Bond
 Polar Covalent Bond
• e- are shared unequally between 2
different atoms
• results in partial opposite charges

0
B. Ionic Names
 Write the names of both elements,
cation first.
 Change the anion’s ending to -ide.
 Write the names of polyatomic ions.
 For ions with variable oxidation #’s,
write the ox. # in parentheses using
Roman numerals. Overall charge = 0.
B. Ionic Names
 NaBr
• sodium bromide

C. Ionic Formulas
 Write each ion. Put the cation first.
 Overall charge must equal zero.
• If charges cancel, just write the symbols.
• If not, crisscross the charges to find
subscripts.
 Use parentheses when more than one
polyatomic ion is needed.
 Roman numerals indicate the oxidation #.
