Inert Elements
Atoms are stable (inert) when the outermost shell is complete
Inert Elements
Atoms are stable (inert) when the outermost shell is complete
Atoms will gain, lose, or share electrons to complete their outermost orbitals and reach a stable state
Inert Elements
Atoms are stable (inert) when the outermost shell is complete
Atoms will gain, lose, or share electrons to complete their outermost orbitals and reach a stable state
Atoms are considered stable when their outermost orbital has 8 electrons (With exception to the first shell
Inert Elements
Reactive ElementsValence shells are not full and are unstable
Tend to gain, lose, or share electronsAllow for bond formation, which produces stable
valence
Molecules and Compounds
Molecule: Two or more like atoms combined chemically
Compound: Two or more different atoms combined chemically
What are chemical reactions?What do you remember?
What are chemical reactions?
Atoms are united by chemical bonds
OR
Atoms dissociate from other atoms when chemical bonds are broken
Chemical Bonds
Ionic vs. Covalent

Ionic Bonds
Form when electrons are completely transferred from one atom to another
IonsCharged particles
Anions - negativeCations - positiveEither donate or accept electrons
Ionic Bonds

Sodium atom (Na)(11p+; 12n0; 11e–)
Chlorine atom (Cl)(17p+; 18n0; 17e–)

Covalent Bonds
Atoms become stable through shared electrons
Single covalent bonds share one pair of electrons
Double covalent bonds share two pairs of electrons

Polarity
Covalently bonded molecules
Polarity
Some are non-polarElectrically neutral
as a molecule
Some are polarHave a positive and
negative side

Hydrogen bonds
Weak chemical bonds
Hydrogen is attracted to the negative portion of polar molecule
Provides attraction between molecules
