Study Notes
Chemical Bonding
- The force of attraction that holds various constituents together in different chemical species is called a chemical bond.
- Lewis symbols are used to represent the valence electrons of an atom.
- Most elements, including sodium, follow the octet rule, which states that an atom tends to gain, lose, or share electrons to achieve a full outer energy level of eight electrons.
- A sodium atom has one valence electron.
- Covalent bonds involve the mutual sharing of valence electrons between atoms.
