Study Notes
Why Atoms Combine
- Atoms are not stable unless their valence orbital has a desired number of electrons.
- They combine to fill their outer orbital by sharing, giving, or taking electrons from other atoms.
Types of Bond Formation
- Transfer of one or more electrons from the valence shell of one atom to the valence shell of another atom.
- Sharing of one, two, or three electron pairs of valence shells between combining atoms.
Chemical Bond
- Provides the energy necessary to hold two different atoms together as part of a chemical compound.
- Strength of the bond depends on the molecules or atoms involved in the process of bond formation.
Formation of Chemical Substances
- Chemical Bond is the attraction between atoms that allows the formation of chemical substances containing two or more atoms.
- The type and number of electrons in the outer electronic shells of atoms or ions determine how atoms react with each other to form stable chemical bonds.
Bond Energy
- Strong or stable bonds require a lot of energy to be formed or broken.
- Weak bonds require less energy to be formed or broken.
