Focus on the WHITE words

2. Objectives
Describe how the properties of compounds differ from those of their constituent atoms.
Explain what a chemical formula represents.
Discuss why chemical bonding occurs.

3. Compounds When elements chemically combine
Often have chemical and physical properties that aren’t anything like those of the individual elements

4. Example NaCl = Table Salt How are Na and Cl different…
Na = shiny, soft metal that reacts violently with water
Cl = poisonous greenish yellow gas
How are Na and Cl different…
Physically?
Chemically?

5. Chemical Formula
Tells what elements a compound contains and the exact number of the atoms of each element in a unit of that compound
Shows the kinds and numbers of atoms in the smallest representative unit
If only one atom of an element, you only write the symbol
If more than one atom, a number is used as a subscript

6. Atomic Stability
Atoms form compounds because electric forces between electrons and protons attract and hold atoms and molecules together
Atoms/Elements are stable when they have a full valence shell
Gain, lose, or share electrons to fill valence shell

7. Noble gases Unusually stable
8 outer electrons
Don’t readily form compounds or bonds with other elements

8. Electrons and Energy Levels
Period = how many energy levels
Group = how many valence electrons

9. How do elements fill outer energy levels?
They do this by combining with other atoms that also have partially complete outer energy levels
As a result, each achieves stability.
Group 1 and 17 (7A) atoms combine easily. Why?

10. This illustration shows electron dot diagrams for sodium and chlorine.
When they combine, sodium loses one electron and chlorine gains one electron.
Na had only one electron in its outer energy level, which is lost to Cl as they combine to form sodium chloride.
Na drops down to a new outer energy level, and it is stable with eight electrons.

11. Chemical bond
Attraction between atoms as they gain, lose, or share electrons, pulling them together to form a compound.
A chemical bond is the force that holds atoms together in a compound
