2. Atoms and the Periodic Table Chapter Six: The Atom Chapter Seven: Elements and the Periodic Table Chapter Eight: Molecules and Compounds

3. 8.1 Compounds and Chemical Bonds 8.2 Electrons and Chemical Bonds

4. Investigation 8A How do atoms form chemical bonds with other atoms? Chemical Bonds

5. 8.1 Compounds and chemical bonds A compound contains two or more different elements that are chemically bonded together.

6. 8.1 Compounds and chemical bonds A mixture contains two or more elements and/or compounds that are not chemically bonded together.

7. 8.1 Molecules and covalent bonds A chemical bond forms when atoms transfer or share electrons. A covalent bond is formed when atoms share electrons.

8. 8.1 Chemical formulas and diagrams Molecules are represented by a chemical formula. The chemical formula tells you the precise number of each kind of atom in the molecule.

10. 8.1 Structure and function The properties of a compound depend MUCH more on the exact composition and structure (shape) of its molecule than on the elements of which it is made.

11. 8.1 Ionic compounds Ionic bonds are bonds in which electrons are transferred from one atom to another. Sodium and chlorine form an ionic bond because the positive sodium ion is attracted to the negative chloride ion.

13. 8.1 Why chemical bonds form It takes energy to separate atoms that are bonded together. The same energy is released when chemical bonds form. Atoms form bonds to reach a lower energy state.

15. Geology Connection Salt: Common, but Uncommonly Important Today salt is among the most common substances we know. The use of salt as a preservative contributed to the survival and expansion of human civilization.
